Or maybe it was just that the "simple" Linux solution wasn't really that simple to the person who didn't already know Linux and the software used there? And the the "complex" Windows based solution was already well known, both how it works and what quirks it has and really quite simple to the person which already managed it. I've seen ton of Linux people presenting so-called "simple" solutions, which while not mindstaggeringly complex, requires you to familarize yourself with a whole new toolchain, new commands and new concepts. While they have seen the light in Linux-based solutions, they have also stared themselves blind by not recognizing that a lot of things which are simple or obvious to them are skills that need to be learned. Basically it boils down to not fixing something which is not broken and sticking to the tools you know.
