Re:Yes, But Linux Is Not The Incentive (Score 1)

A new version of Windows/MS Office/Photoshop requires more time and money than learning Linux/OpenOffice/Gimp. Therefore, if one has enough time and money to buy and learn Windows, MS Office and Photoshop, then one will have plenty of time to learn the open-source programs (I will not call them equivalens, because in some/many cases they are just better). And a good users knows "an operating system", "program for editing documents" and "a program for editing photos", no matter what names they have, while a bad user knows "Windows", "MS Word" and "Photoshop". In short: a good user can switch easily between OS's and programs, while the bad users know only one program, and in many cases even that program is mistakenly used. The focus of the good user is the goal, while the focus of the bad user is a familiary interface.
