You said: "But maybe MS is playing their cards right. Are you really going to set your parents up with a Linux box and provide support for them? Of course not, they already know how to use Windows and that's what they want."

Actually, that's exactly what I did. You're right - they don't care about EULAs. But neither do they care about Windows. They care about email, the Web, etc. Which can easily be done on Linux, with a minimum of fuss & bother, & no virus worries.

I suspect many others are going to find the same prospect attractive.
