I have noticed that GNU/Linux like to use old hardware - sometimes the older the better - Windows users and, even more so, Mac users actually *feel good* when they get more expensive hardware to run their bloatware (I suppose that they think that MHzes kind of compensate for their lack of skills).
Apple users, in particular, are the worst techno-snobs I have ever seen. They *love* their bloatware and they *love* to spend their money on the (already overpriced) hardware needed to run it.
So among some computer users, the GNU/Linux' ability to run very well on older hardware is actually a liability, not an asset.
