Sure, but since the Linux installation and maintaining is not that easy, those 8 million Linux users are surely more familiar with the working and how to maintain a PC than the usual PC (l)user. Face it, most users may have heard about Linux but still swear and stick to the constantly crashing windows just because they don't know how to install it and where to get software for Linux.
