Dear Sir
   Sorry, but my opinion is that if you show Linux and teach how to use it to people that had no previous knowledge of computers they will learn it as fast as they learn windows. Of course I am speaking use Ubuntu or similar linux.  I have seen some comparatives done in schools and they show this fact.
  The fact that Windows is more widespread is the consequence of multiple factors, one of them the money M spends promoting it and giving away licenses to schools.
   sincerely
