The price of trying to attract the uninitiated...

Indeed, but IIRC since I never actually used anything other than Unix and Linux, at least in Windows you had the following:

"Click OK to confirm"

with no other option:-)

But going back to your point, yes, why? I have attracted several people into linux in the past 20 years, and they have said things like such a (proprietary) software is not available. Never have I heard anyone say: I miss this feature of Windows.....
