I think too many users choose Windows and MS Office products because they
are sheeple. Everyone else has it, everyone else says that's what they
need, so that's what they buy. There's other reasons too, such as it's
hard to find Mac outlets, even harder to see a Linux box, but I'm
referring to the aggregate result.

Surprised no-one picked up on this! Unfortunately the likes of Open/Libre
Office aren't compatible (enough) with MS Office to be useful in a mixed
platform environment; by which I mean that if you have to collaborate with
another author on a document you will have problems unless you both use the
same tools. OK for shopping list but not for anything more complex.
That's why people choose MS Office.
