>> Why? People are happy to pay for the complete bundle including Windows.
>> If people weren't happy to pay extra for commercial software, they would complain.
>> The only people I hear complaining are Linux geeks.
>The average user thinks Windows is freeware. They are totally unaware that the cost of their computer includes the cost of Windows. If you don't believe >me, search the Internet, and talk to an average computer user.

Exactly - ignorance is bliss... and ignorant people tend not to appreciate geeks coming along and spoiling their blissful existences. Nor do they appreciate elitist snobs telling them what they should or shouldn't be doing. Trying to convince ordinary people to use Linux instead of Windows is rather like trying to get people to read Dostoevsky instead of Dan Brown.
