"This begs the question...What will it take to get
those millions of homes who have never purchased a
PC to take the plunge?"

It will take speaking their language. I do not like
it, but many US families speak no english. In my
neighborhood, spanish is common. Why would my next
door neighbor buy his kids a computer that worked
in a foreign language? We have spanish radio, TV,
newspapers, etc. They would have to pre-install the
spanish version of Windows to get these families
to take the plunge.

Of course spanish is just an example. The same holds
true for other non-english languages spoken in the US.
