Most people aren't smart enough to understand and don't care what is on their system as long as they can do the things they want. Just the fact that you are posting on this site shows that you probably can NOT relate to the AVERAGE (read: I just want to chat on chat lines and look at pretty pictures on the net) computer user. FUD keeps them using the same stuff...when they need a server/webserver they get the stuff that they are most familair with. Windows will continue to win until nc's come along in which the browser is the thing or until enough hand holding from some other OS crowd can become large enough to start a change.
