I'd like to add my viewpoint on this "then go back to windows" problem.
I've said it. I still do. And I do it often. Why? Because about 40% of the people I meet and have a chat with concerning computing and GNU/Linux are either end-users not interested very much in computing at all or just blatantly reject GNU/Linux, for numerous reasons, such as "it's crap", "it's not going to run my current programs", "it's not very well supported", "it's free, therefore it must be inferior", and so forth.
I'm active locally and abound in the community, including introducing people to GNU/Linux. I've got a box of about 180 Ubuntu breezy CDs in my room and I intend to give them all away. The reason why I've used "well just stick with Windows then" is because I give up on a lot of people, simply because they themselves have given up. I'm not going to push someone to do something they've already rejected. If they don't have the mindset to be willing to learn something new, after I've given them the CD, the ways of getting help and in some cases even installed and gotten everything ready for them, then frankly I couldn't care less. It's primarily their loss and since the number of new people that are this negative usually are less than 50% then I think I'm already doing enough good.
So, in some cases, if a newcomer enters here and all they do is bitch and whine on and on about how MP3 support isn't out of the box, or why program A doesn't have function X then frankly my patience wears thin. Quite simply if they aren't willing to put some effort in themselves as well as thank the people that are helping then I think we can do without them.
Therefore I suppose we don't need to tell them to go back to Windows, but rather "use what you want, do what you want and perhaps go back to whatever you were using before if you think this isn't good enough".
