Surely if Roberts is interested in learning about why people use Linux,
the best way to learn about why people use it is to use it himself as
his daily OS for a year or two.

The elegance of *nix, and especially of Linux, is something which would
be immediately obvious - even if he never sees the command line.

Then when he uses Micro$oft software again, he will know.

IMHO.
