In answer to your original question: no.

Windows is shit, but the majority of people use it because they are stupid. And they are too stupid to change even if they are able to understand the implications of the passage you quoted.

I am willing to bet that even if someone proved beyond any doubt that having Windows installed on your computer gave you cancer, AIDS, and excessive cellulite, the majority of people would still use it.
