Yes they are very good points, however her points are based on false
assumptions.  She assumes that in order to use Linux she needs to
become an "expert", that it must become her new hobby.  It doesn't.

There is an initial investment in learning to get to the point she is
at now with Windows, but it is not excessively time consuming, or
hobby like.

And as far as hiring a Linux butler, she can just fire her Windows
butler for the money.  If she is the Windows butler, she just needs to
make that initial small investment in learning.  Large profits will
come from this small investment.

I don't mind if people choose not to make that investment.  Investing
in anything can be scary and takes initiative.  Many people are lazy.
I take issue with her false assumptions.  Her defense is either
dishonest or ignorant.  Either way it becomes invalid.
