> Most home users prefer Windows.

That's correct - they do, and that also goes along with my previous point:
they prefer Windows because they are computer illiterate.

Not only do we need to wean them off of Windows, we need to wean them
off of the "personal computer" - aka "PC" computing model.

This needs to be dealt with at the cause. Everyone trying to dance to 
Microsoft's
PC waltz has tough luck - people will still be illiterate and adoption rates
will be low. If they knew and understood more about Informatics, then it 
wouldn't be
so tough to get them to use a superior / easier / cheaper technology.

It's not completely without merit to want to educate the general public in 
Informatics.
Take an average contemporary teenager: where would s/he be today if they didn't 
know
how to use a computer? How will they get a job, even in a non-computer related 
field?
Computers are everywhere, and they will not go away.
