And that raises a good point, since average users get their tech friends to do the installing anyway. I’ve switched many over to Linux because of this.

Close but no cigar.

While some people do take their tech-friend’s help, majority of people just buy PCs/laptops with Windows preinstalled. THAT is the reason people are just used to Windows.

  That doesn’t preclude what I said, though. When there is installing to be done, it’s usually the tech friend that’s called in to do it. I know this by virtue of being that person and having been called on to do it several times.

  PCs/laptops with Windows preinstalled or even pay extra to install it, if the machine would have FreeDOS by default.
