It is a valid numbers argument. The example of windows does not stand
because most people dont consciously choose windows. It comes
pre-installed on the computers that they buy and thats what they are
used to. They dont "download" windows because they like it.
Automatix does not come pre-installed with Ubuntu. People CHOOSE to
download and install Automatix because of its inherent usefulness and
awesome track record. Thats why the numbers argument is relevant here.

While Dennis Kaarsemaaker and his bunch of cronies keep spewing
nonsense about Automatix on the IRC channel and here on the mailing
lists, here's what was posted in the Automatix forum an hour back by
NSR500:
