Tell that to people who experience an application failure which takes
out the X server and therefore all IO so that they are unable to do
anything except reboot if they don't have sshd or similar running and
another computer on the LAN through which to connect and kill X.

Then tell them they cannot play the games and other non-Office
applications that were the real reason they bought the PC.

Windows and Linux are just the OS. People don't really use the OS. They
use applications and that's what they care about. With most Linux
distros the issue is a little confused because they include so many
applications but the fact remains that people using Windows are not
really using Windows - they are using the set of applications they have
installed on top of it. That's what they really care about.
