Everybody has a choice.  Claiming a lack of choice simply perpetuates
the problem.

My parents run Linux.  That was mostly my choice, I admit.  They know
very little about computers, and I refused to install Windows for
them.  So they learned Linux.  I installed a fairly locked-down
XFCE desktop, taught them to use Mozilla, and installed DOSEMU and
WordPerfect 5.1.  They're happy.
