This assumes that those of us choosing to use Linux care what others
use and feel it our mission to attempt to "convert the great unwashed".

Whereas in reality, many of who use <insert OS of choice here> do so
because we feel it fits our needs better than <insert list of other
OSes here> and really don't give a flipping inode what anyone else
uses.

I have no care in the world what OS anyone else uses.  But if they're
*interested* in learning something about UN*X based OSes, I'm more
than happy to talk to them about it and teach them what I know.  I
have *no* desire for world domination or converting the masses.  I'd
be perfectly happy if Linux never achieved more than a .00005% market
share penetration on the desktop.

       since '04 and has no idea what a "registry" is other than where
       he renews his driver's license :)
