No, not quality but compatibility. What will they do with a free OS that will not be 100% compatible to their needs?
I haven't really noticed too many hardware issues with most Linux distros of late. So compatibility in that case is only in some remote cases (ATI for e.g. as jtd mentioned).
If you're talking about compatibility in terms of "willingness to change" then that's a completely different ballgame. A person used to windows will give spending the extra 5000-10000 INR a thought atleast. For a completely new user, the numbers ought to go up a bit in favour of GNU/Linux. But then, which distro becomes another question. Fedora (and now Ubuntu) seem to have a bit of an advantage here. One thing's for sure, for a home user eyecandy counts for quite a bit. And if you put a brand new fast computer with KDE on it, it will kick Windows' a$$ any day. For the kids, games will be a big point of contention too.
