Here is the problem: If you are a Windows .EXE program dependent user you may be unhappy if your favorite software cannot be used any longer.
People are like rats in their maze with blinders on. They cannot do what they need to do with their winblows point and click software and cannot adapt to new GNU alternative -- or refuse too.
People are creatures of habit and resistant to change. Look, people have shit-fits when the new version of MicroCrap WinBlows comes out for reason of their favorite program no longer working. With LINUX usually your software is updated with your new system.
Dual boot to a Windows install is one option. If you have adequate hardware resources -- a Windows VM is a better idea -- older systems no longer matter as you just reinstall the image if need be when you get the
inevitable Windows .dll hack online :P . Abandoning Windows and learning to use a REAL LINUX operating system is probably the best *new brave world* option IMO -- that is what I did 7 years ago
