Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows 7 and 8 users are starting to disable Windows Update entirely. Yikes.

I can see the appeal of a traditional desktop or laptop with GNU/Linux for a  
programmer or tech savvy person at a university, but if they are an  
engineering or computer science student, they are aware of alternatives or  
run GNU/Lunux already.

As for the average 18-22 year old, they are more concerned about image and  
conformity at this stage in their life. Hence the Apple laptop for school and  
their Beats by Dre headphones plugged into their iPhone when they walk around  
campus. They don't care about software freedom or privacy as they post every  
detail of their life online since it is convenient. I know what I am saying  
may sound shocking to you, but it's what I noticed when I visited a family  
member on campus last month.
