More than likely it's the fear of change. For a lot of current windows
users, it took quite a lot to get them to buy a computer, sit down and
figure out how it all works, get comfortable with it... then discover that
there's another way of doing things "differently" with Linux...
Most every one that I've turned on to linux have had the same exact fear,
almost loathing, of having to learn something different. But once the
initial shock wears off, it all becomes "business as usual" with Linux.
Virus free too...
