It's probably because Windows users are spoon-fed a lot of things; they're
event-driven, like their OS. If they don't see a menu option, they assume
it's not there. And many a times, even if they do see it, they' don't
realize... now that I think of it, it's a general problem, not just a
windows-users problem. People are like that... knocking on doors. They don't
realize the doors are already open.
