Funny you say that - It seems that more people seem to think Linux etc. are a
lot more complicated than Windows.  Many people are intimidated by a command
line and probably wouldn't know how to use the command prompt (which I think is
still necessary to use in many cases in *nix).  One of my friends said he had
tried Linux once and was lost, and he kept on using Windows.  Maybe it was just
a matter of being familiar with Windows and not knowing anything about Linux.. 
That's probably the case with many people, and I don't think it helps that
there are dozens of Linux distros available, which are all different from each
other (some more significantly different, some only slightly different).
