No such luck ! Most users of Windows expect their computers to "just work" like a appliance does. If it no longer does what they want it to do, it gets pitched and they go buy another one ! Also, Windows is like McDonald's in the way of brainwashing the masses to believe that there is no other choice worth even considering. I just wish people would not be afraid and / or unwilling to learn something new. I have been trying to get users of Windows to check out Linux on a Live CD.
