I don't know about that. I know a number of non-technically minded computer users 
who still only use IE as their browser.

They also turn their noses up at free office suites like Open Office and would rather 
pay to get Microsoft Office. The mindset is "if it is free it couldn't be any good 
or the people who make it would be charging for it".

I would say brand recognition and habituation also have a role to play in their decisions.
