In part they say that because that's what their geek friends say; they really don't know or care themselves. I've had non-geek friends tell me how much better Linux is than Windows, even though they aren't sure exactly what Linux is (a different kind of computer? a new word-processing program? a new version of ICQ?). They just echo whatever they are told by people they consider "experts." You can tell which "experts" they've talked to, too, by which products they think are superior (Linux or UNIX usually means they have friends in college or just starting out, for example, and Mac usually means that they have friends who work in the fine arts).
