You'll never know if you don't try.

I'm not saying he doesn't know Windows at all because he won't try, I'm saying he doesn't know Windows at all because he doesn't use it but 30 minutes per day. And those 30 minutes are consumed running ONE program, nothing else
This one program is Windows only as well. I could probably rig it up to work on Linux, but it would be nasty. My friend finds Windows hard enough to use. I've used Linux many times, and it is slightly more advanced than Windows. Windows is more user friendly for a person like my friend. Take my word for it
