I think you're the one ignoring the fact that Windows is the right OS for some people. Everyone has different needs and limitations. There's not one OS that is the right solution for everyone, just like there's no Linux distribution that is right for everyone.

While it might be the right OS for some people, it is actually the worst choice for the majority. And I would say that for those people for whom it is the best choice, it just is for the wrong reasons.

From my personal perspective, the right way to steer people into Linux is to highlight the key features you feel are the best. You don't need to say Windows is bad, only that Linux is amazing. If you just tell people they're masochists and wrong they'll just ignore you. Have a nice day!
