Yeah, But I’ve found that most people are familiar with windows, and just don’t like or want anything new. Also, a lot of older devices don’t have drivers readily available, and lots of people don’t want to buy new stuff, when their old stuff is still good.

Most of the people I know who are clueless Windows users really don’t care. You can interchange them with a Mac and they never have a problem. All they need is their email and web brower. Everything else is just too hard to use.

Actually, legacy products are usually OK with Linux. The problem is the new stuff. Chances are that the only thing they have is a printer.
I deal with a lot of older people and their #1 problem is viruses and spyware. Their other problem is their ability to screw up their system which is easy to do in Windows. An Linux box or a Mac would work just fine.
