this analogy doesnt apply
On a lighter note , IMHO it applies to a great extent. (Cigarettes and WIndows)
1) Both are harmful and expensive addictions. 2) People transitioning from both, experience withdrawal symptoms and a lot of temptations ( Snazzy looking software, games) ,etc. 3) Majority of the people would have experienced it at one point or the other. 4) There are fanatical groups who protest against their usage.
