Chances? Anybody that wants to is free to run cygwin or linux. That's
the whole point. I don't see where there is any chance involved.

The chances that they know they can, then. Or the chances that
they're willing, or allowed to. (Perhaps they're at school and
are using public computers on which they have no administrative
permissions).

People in general haven't figured out that all the world ain't
a Wintel.
