Among the biggest drawbacks to open-source software is the lack of documentation and too many, often obscure, customizable options.

Windows, despite all its flaws, is designed to install with minimal intervention from the user - it's remarkable the vast range of hardware configurations Windows handles - not saying perfectly, but good enough for most installs to complete, and work adequately.

Linux, despite all the talk of it being "mainstream", is and will remain focused towards folks who enjoy tinkering around and for people / companies with the need for an alternative solution to Windows for servers, etc.
