You gotta know when to say "when." It's hard to convince Joe and Mary User to convert to Linux when the first things you hear from them are: "Where's my ?" "Why can't I just have ?" or the ever-popular "This doesn't work like ?" Honestly, it's enough to make me want to tell them to "just buy a Mac and stop calling me." Linux, after all, is for smart people and I really don't find any reason to "dumb it down" for the general population.
