A common heard question in the operating systems world is, 'if the alternatives to Windows are so much better, why aren't people en masse switching to them?' People come up with all sorts of answers to this question, but in fact, the social psychology world already has a fairly simple answer to this question. This answer also happens to actually explain why Zeta sold so well through the usually superficial television retail channel.

No, that's arrogant BS being spewed by a technophile with a poor grasp on humanity.
You're not getting it. I do not grasp the string theory, nor do I grasp quantum computing, hence I am too stupid to process that information.
Same goes for operating systems.
They simply want to use the aircraft to get from one location to another. It's a tool, a means to an end. The minutia have little bearing on their lives.
EXACTLY! Hence they do not care about what operating system they are running, hence they are not involved in the subject, hence the information related to operating systems you feed them does not get processed centrally.
You get it now?
