I think that these people have other goals than learning how to use a 
computer.  People are familiar with Microsoft, hence that's what gets used.  
I don't think that Linux is quite ready for the average end-user desktop yet

centralized administration).

Why would they need a static IP? (If you can manage to get your way into the 
system, (eg.) just install a dynamic DNS client.)
