All we can do is guide them. Personally, I guide them to treasure I cannot have, since I'm damn near obligated to run and deeply understand Microsoft Windows because I work for IT support.

All of my work tools are Windows centric.

I do use windows for work as well, but if people want adoption, it starts at home. I do see a need for Linux distros in general will have to make even a bigger shift for the user needs instead of whatever agenda people like to imply (I think open source is a good goal, but if I introduce Linux to someone, I will not for certain preach endlessly about this).

We need more adoption, but I also see some camps will decide to further distance themselves from these groups of users.
