People should use what works for them.. I'm all about that. Personally Linux works much better for my needs than Windows does.. For that reason my one Windows computer doesn't see much use at all.
When I tell someone about Linux for the first time I always make sure to tell them that it is not Windows, and doesn't work like Windows. I always find out what they use their computer for, what programs they use etc. Most people I come across and tell about Linux want to give it a try.. and they come back and tell me they love it.
The last thing I want is to give someone Linux and make them think it works like Windows, only to have them very disappointed that they can't run some Windows only software. I never want to push Linux on anybody, but I like people to know that it is there, what it is, and how it works.
If Windows is what you like and works best for you, then use it. But if someone has never heard of Linux, maybe they don't know that Linux would really be the best for them.
