@Mark : Though your tone is rather degrading to Linux, I'd have to argue that the reason people "don't give a shit" is that it's not commercially marketed toward them. People are consumer whores. I've met tons of people that think Windows and Mac are the only options that exist. Period. In all honesty, most people could be using Linux with no problems whatsoever. I switched my parents over to it because all they do is use the Internet (and that's a stretch because it's basically just Yahoo mail, games, etc.) and I get no complaints. In fact, my mom likes how the menu is organized better. She always hated that the company that made the software was how you had to navigate in the Start Menu. She could never remember which company made her software.
