Not sure I understand you correctly. To clarify, what I'm saying is, any OS that people use because they want to is an opportunity to do it better and sway them. They may be personally invested, but they're invested because it's a good product, so if you can one-up that you have a chance of winning them over, and it's actually possible they could swap to your OS.
If they're using an OS b/c corporate IT mandates it, fat chance they'll ever reinstall their work computer's desktop.
I just don't have any good guess as to what portion of Windows users are the former or latter.
- mixmastamyk 13y agoNot sure about that, but we know approximately how many people have changed to a Linux desktop, and it has always been near 1%.

It's getting close, Ubuntu is arguably there, but obviously alternatives are needed since not everyone likes Unity. Kudos to eOS for shaping up to be another viable contender.
