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.

It has nothing to do with stupidity. People filter. That isn't an exercise in stupidity.
Of course it is. I know enough people who won't even know what an operating system is! Hence, they are too stupid in this particular subject to be able to process information about this subject.
It's not rocket science, really.
