Im pretty sure its also down to the fact that if your running Linux,
then you must know what your doing.

Linux is still very much considered a technical O/S, and users are
considered to be more technically minded than average users. Im sure
that most windows users wouldnt know how to trouble shoot. They expect
it to work out of the box.

I dare you to take a PC or Laptop to a corner shop (or even PC world),
say your running Linux, ask for help, and get someone who is a Linux
guru. I'll put £1 bet on whether you get a knowledgerable person.
