This is a very important point. Today, most Linux "users" are also Linux savvy or, at the very least, computer savvy; this is very different to the population of Windows users.


The proportion of Linux "lusers" is very small. Getting a real "user" experience / opinion is not easy and specially so in this kind of discussion, which hardly galvanises anyone except enthusiasts.
