It makes perfect sense to me.
Linux is ready for most desktop users, although it may require a more technical person to install it.
Windows, on the other hand, is NOT ready for the Internet, because, for most people, it is NOT SAFE.
The only people who can safely connect Windows to the Internet are those who have enough technical knowledge to: - Configure and use a firewall. - Shut down certain default services. - Change some default settings (e.g. turn off Outlook preview). - Install and maintain anti-virus software. - Avoid clicking on some e-mail. - And so on.
