Yea, ok. But then Windows itself has changed so much, that something like XFCE arguably feels more like XP/Vista than Windows 8 or 10 does. From my personal observation the Charms Bar especially appears to confuse people. (Or, did he in fact put Windows XP on those older computers? If so, then that's also highly irresponsible, as it doesn't receive any security updates!)

So I wonder why Lundgren has been going out of his way to face potential criminal prosecution, fines and jail time in order to provide what most people arguably might more familiar with? I don't get his cost/benefit analysis.

People still install Windows software on their computers; among other things there are still printers and other peripherals with drivers that are only available for Windows (as insane as that may seem in this day and age). It is not just familiarity with the UI.

I've experienced this cut both ways though.

At our print studios we have one printer that works with Windows and not GNU/Linux and one where it's the other way around.

Without the "American".
