OSNews, Generic OSes 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.

I think we're in agreement on the fundamentals. But I don't agree with your free-wheeling use of the term "stupidity" when, in fact you mean "lack of knowledge".

Note how I said: "To put it bluntly".

One of my character traits is that I like to a) simplify things, and b) use hyperboles. Combine these two traits, and you understand where I'm coming from ;) .
