They don't know they have a choice or that they could use a superior, stable, flexible, non-malware magnet, non-Microsoft intrusive OS. Meanwhile I've been using Linux on the Desktop (exclusively except for experimentation) for eleven or twelve years now. It's gotten better every year. (This is while Windows was going through its Windows 8 debacle.) -- The more I see of Windows, the more I like Linux.
