I don't think that's actually very many people. Not for their personal computers. Most people don't run much more than a web browser, if they don't play games.
People tend to use the stuff they're already used to. They could probably use Linux but if they buy a Laptop which has Windows preinstalled and they're used to Windows it's hard to get them to make the jump
