You “need” that?

In the absolute, you are wrong. Some will. Some have. I have migrated a few myself.

The end of support is a problem for Windows users and therefore an opportunity for Linux supporters.

Will a large fraction of Windows users migrate to Linux? Probably not. That said, more will move if we educate them and offer our assistance. Even a small migration of Windows users would be a significant increase in Linux Desktop users. If 5 percent of Windows users migrated, it would double the number of Linux users. So, moving even a small percentage of Windows users would be a major success.

Why does that bother you?
