"There's no need to convert the masses to Linux. Let them flounder and complain and pay you to fix their systems. Why fight it?

On the other hand, if you convert them to Linux, you'll have to fix their system free of charge for the rest of your life because you converted them to it.

"Linux is too complex for Joe and Mary User and that's as it should be. You wouldn't try to convert them to partial differential calculus just because you find it so fascinating, now would you?"
