The difference is that a lot of the people who use Windows usually are
the mass-market "sheep" mentality.  They use it because it is what they
know and what their friends know and what came with their computer.
Many of them don't really know there is an alternative.

Apple users are those who *chose* to use Apple and are therefore
typically more loyal.  Ditto those who use Linux.

Because of the first paragraph, I don't see a lot of people moving from
Windows even if Vista is bad.  It's what came with their computer and
though they may gripe and complain, they'll try to get used to it and
finally MS will have another captured audience.

Pessimist or realist?  You tell me.
