This is the silly thing. There is no objective 'works' or 'doesn't work' that applies to 'the average user' because there are so many use cases and configurations. And it doesn't matter. For a large bunch of people Windows has been crap for its whole existence, but it works with X, or is the only thing compatible with Y, or because no one demonstrated anything better. I.e. exactly how the iPhone got such traction (also with the marketing). Linux is [i]just as good[/i] as Windows and vice-versa, where the use case is compatible...
