The problem with linux, for my parents, is that neither of them are really computer literate, everything they know how to do is because they've been told how to do it, not because they've picked it up themselves. There are classes in how to use Windows, their family/friends use Windows and can give advice... If they moved to linux, then not only would I have to spend a fair bit of time getting them into it, but I'd then be the only person for them to call with issues in the future.
