Why? Isn't Windows so easy that anyone can handle it....
You see, as someone else already pointed out, no John Doe is actually
installing and configuring their own Windows machine -- someone else
do it for them either for a fee (the computer store, the "technician",
their ISP over the phone) or for other reasons (a family member,
a neighbour, a coworker who is a "computer expert").
What is changing in the Linux world is:
- Distributions are getting better at install/configure
- More and more people are available to help others with
Linux issues (I'm sure you can now help your friends
or neighbours with *some* of their common problems).
- Hardware vendors are (really slowly) beginning to pay
attention as Linux becomes more widespread (e.g: you
start to see advertisements [even in Israel] that
refers to Linux compatibility).
Cheer up,
