This is usually a delusion: is not that windows or linux is more or less
easy (now or then) but how many people in your circle can solve/cope a
problem with your system.
Just run a simple experiment: knock at your neighbors' door and tell them
you have a problem with your Internet Explorer; there's a high chance
that someone can help.
Now do the same but tell them you have a problem with Konqueror. They
will close the door in our nose and say something like "The guy on third
floor is saying foolishness" :-)
