Quite true. The problem is that non-tech type is not a young market anymore. Young are savvier than ever on both hardware and software and it is quite cool among college goers to say "I am on linux man".
Interesting times indeed. Gonna get harder for MS/Apple to make money off this turf it seems.

- monsterix 14y agoI have seen a couple of kids rave about how much "love Apple has poured into its interfaces..." (yes, that is actual statement) and yet with Steve gone, there seems lack of right leadership or a visionary up there. So "linux for me!", even though at the back of the mind it was still about saving those dollars. This is the picture I have seen so far. En masse? Well only time would tell.
