Seems kinda crazy to me that Windows is still so dominant after all the shitty stuff MS has done.
As someone who semi-recently made the jump (june) to linux, you need a lot of time to do it, even for something that would seem trivial to an experienced user like going to mint. Most people don't have the time to do something like that. New systems built by curious nerds will probably be where linux gets most of its new users. (so it's a shame no one can afford to build one)
I installed Mint on my 72 year old fathers new Thinkpad. He loves it and has had relatively few complaints.
