People have choices, you know? They can basically do what they want to do. I do not know of many 'idiots' that you speak of. Last time I wanted someone to switch to Linux, he wanted to know if 3D games like Crysis, Half Life, etc. Some one else had problems with his G-Force graphics card. And people just want to get stuff done. They don't care about social, political merits. Not everyone care about philosophy nor is everyone altruistic.
