Yes. I think that you are right here. "Perception" and "marketing" play more 
significant roles than "the quality of the product." Still, perceptions can 
be changed over time through quality marketing. 

Those people that I talk to that are still on M$FT tell me that "everyone that 
mentions Linux loves it, and I just haven't gotten around to trying it." 
I have never run into someone with an "anti-Linux" view - but I think Greg is 
right in that "most people just go with the flow." There are so many bad 
decisions we as consumers make . . . we can't expect everyone (or even 
anyone) to agree with our decision and afford the effort to make a change.
