About Red Hat and deskops, funny you should say that. I recently had to move a user of mine from Fedora running Gnome with Evo and FF to Windows running Outlook and IE. I kid you not, the swearing from the other room (especially about Outlook) was rather noticeable :-)
This user has zero technical background and wouldn't know the first thing about UI usability studies. Go figure.

presumably as punishment for some awful crime they'd committed?

Seriously, no - just unavailability of a machine with Fedora/Gnome at that point in time.

Try and do the opposite after he's got used to IE and OE, and I'm sure he'll swear just as much. It's the change that hurts.

Actually, that user is very familiar to Windows, IE and Outlook, as this is what it uses in another environment. So, it just pure preference thing.
