Those kind of users are geeks and nerds. I've been in touch with a number of users, who tried various livecds of gnu/linux distributions, and found them all to be too complicated to use, and have gone back exclusively to the other popular $$ OS as a result. When I told a couple of friends, who are wizards on windows for the most part, but who don't use gnu/linux, that it is possible to run a virtual computer on your physical computer, it took them a while to get used to that fact, and even then, I was still hearing questions like "so if I wanted to install windows, how do you prepare the hard drive"? My answer of course was, "the same way that you'd prepare a brand new, empty hard drive, on a newly built physical system," and it took a few seconds before that answer clicked, and made sense.
