"Different" is about it.

Do they value being able to tell what's going on with their systems? Do 
they value repeatable results? Do they object to setting changing 
themselves, sometimes for no reason and somtimes during an update? Do 
they mind being obsoleted when Vista or whatever shanges the buttons 
they need to click in order to make it work under Win32? If the answers 
are no, no, no and no then maybe they have a case. Or not.
