What kind of half assed analogy is that? Are you saying that the only difference between windows and linux is the brand name? Oh, wait, the only difference is that Windows is what you buy to save a few bucks?
You can make all the arguements you want on why you think linux is better than windows. Your friend paid money for windows for a reason. Maybe it's because it's all he's used to and he doesn't like linux "because it doesn't reproduce the features and bugs of windows exactly", but it wasn't a decision based on saving a few bucks, it was a decision based on making the most out of his computer. Period.
If I had a friend who was having computer problems (no matter the OS), I would help them.
