Yes and it doesn't take a genius to work out that most users would be
better with any of the top 50 distros instead of Microsoft Windows. The
good news is that they are starting to learn that via word of mouth.

The bad news is that there isn't enough people from the technical fields
that have both the inclination and the social ability to advocate and
educate effectively.
