And Linux is much more solid, so there are many fewer problems to solve.
I was once one of those newbies -- I tried Linux several times (dual booting and in virtual machines) and each time went back to Windows, before it finally occurred to me that I had spent years learning DOS and Windows, why should I expect to know Linux immediately without any effort? Once I worked through Linux's differences (file structure, etc.) I found it made more sense than Windows ever did. I'm glad I stuck with it.

Ahh...but see, the people that I'm talking about are the ones who never really learned how to use Windows or DOS, either. They just want to pop in the disc (or click on a link) and do what they need to do. They don't WANT to learn how things work--they just want it to work without HAVING to know how it works.
