It has more to do with corporations than individuals. Microsoft doesn't pay the bills from great grandma Ethel's Windows license, they have a corporate revenue stream they need to keep locked in.

Yes the real money is in corporations, of course. And large companies won't change anytime soon.

But let's face it, as i was refering on a individual level, is any of your non tech savy family and friends install an other OS other over Windows?

I find that rather hard to believe.

People are creatures of habit.
