On practice there's a combination of the two above reasons. Windowz
people are often asking "will it be possible to open all my stuff from
documents? I have a bunch of word and excel documents on disk D:\..."
And when hearing the answer the second reason appears the scene: "Uhh!
You say openoffice? It's so unhandy!" And when I hearing it from
scientific crowd (who have to write article, reports, these, etc.) I
always ask them have they ever heard of LaTeX? It's a funny question
because I work in a polymer industry :-)
