I was once a Windows user, and I've installed it on numerous machines with a myriad of different hardware setups, and I can tell you that it is never as simple as the author makes it seem.
In reality, the reason that the average joe uses Windows is because he buys a computer that has Windows preinstalled.
Anyone who has the knowledge of how to buy hardware and then install an operating system is NOT the average joe. He's an experienced user. Such a user will have no problem installing whichever flavor of Linux he prefers.
