For the unexercised user efficiency differences of one or the other operating system are irrelevant - not so for the power user or IT guy! So all those driving Ubuntu (or other Linux distros) forward with their experience and with their desires for improving efficiency are the key group - they are the experts others will trust. Who would you rather ask which new car to buy - the flower lady at the corner or the taxi driver?
