Motive?
Offering and catering are two different things. Linux already offers a choice, but why should they cater to (as in attempt to entice) Windows users (other than Commercial Enterprises, which is an entirely different story)?

One Windows user complains that Linux proponents are trying to push them into using Linux, the next one complains that they don't. Which one y'gonna listen to? I say let them lie in the bed they have made for themselves until they are ready to get out of it, then give them a hand if you can. Otherwise, just ignore their FUD.
