Comment 1741 for bug 1

Martin,

You are basically saying it's better to stay with the devil you know.

I disagree because my experiences are not like yours.

Firstly, I never recommend removing a users current installation and leaving them with something they are unfamiliar.

I always set up machines to dual boot and leave them with the option to go back to their existing installation.

This has a very high switchover rate, since they can compare one to the other and find the Linux installation is far more reliable and dependable.

I talking about housewives, psychiatrists, clergymen, plumbers, care workers.
These are the people I have deployed to and they do not look back.

From your post, it seems you actually do not have any Linux experience to compare.
