Why isn’t opensource popular among the layman?

This is really a sociological question, not necesarily a technical one.
But both answers are welcome.

Linux Is Free And Opensource And Windows Expensive And Proprietary. Why Windows Is Still More Popular ?

Here is the thing… People have grown to know Windows and do not want to learn all new. But there is also a large number of people that teach Windows and can give their friends help.
Windows does improve as time goes on. With a paid staff of workers, Microsoft is able to add features and correct problems. Microsoft also gets hardware and software suppliers to make drivers and fix bugs. So the quality of the high diversity of applications and devices gets better and better.
The users are STUCK with opensource Linux. Without any help… they just REFORMAT and go back to Windows. At what point did you believe that opensource helps the user that has no technical background?
Now let’s talk about what FREE means. If you have trouble and hire someone to fix your Linux problems; you will have to PAY big money. With a Windows problem, you can probably get it solved much cheaper.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
