Ignorance isn't a good excuse. If you do backbreaking work in the worst shoes and complain about your foot hurting, you might want to start shoe shopping.

Shoe shopping and learning about new / different technology are not equivalent.

Shoes have a near uniform interface that is easily learned by parents or trial and error. Loading an alternative OS is foreign to most people.

People learn from others the best. Teaching others is the only means for them to realize there are better solutions than sticking with techo-fascist Microsoft.

I'm say this as someone that grew up on MS-DOS and used Windows OS up to Windows 7. After personal exploration, other OSes actually are easier and more stable. You now have to pay me to use Windows OS.

Microsoft is the baddy.
