Oops, should've been more clear. What I meant was that I believe that
most people use Windows because it's the de facto standard (or simply
because it came pre-installed on their computer), not because they
have specifically chosen it as the 'best' or 'most suitable' product
(not saying that it isn't, of course). A bit of a vicious circle,
really!
