Nice analogy.  I see Winbloze as a consumer-level pickup truck. Does
just fine for light duty hauling and Joe Blow can probably drive it
off the dealer's lot without problem. Linux is the 18-wheeler. Doesn't
have all the latest bells and whistles, but it is what you need for
heavy duty hauling. It does come with an extensive list of features
(unknown and unneeded for a desktop Win OS) that make life much easier
when moving around tons of stuff.
Driver's ed is mandatory. Joe Blow shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel
of one without careful training; he's far too likely to tear up the
equipment. <grin>
