Most people LIKE that Windows does everything for you. Most people aren't going to care how they get their desktop weather forecast. What you always have to keep in mind is that the wants of the common, simple masses will always rule, and simple always rules them. Therefore, while Linux is infinitely customizable and far more efficient than Windows, there are really a small percentage of computer users who are willing to learn how to use it. Until, and unless Linux can couple it's customization with a system that even a dummy can master, Windows will always rule the roost, and that's not even taking into account how few Windows users even bother customizing what they can to begin with.
Yes, and that is, unfortunately Linux's main problem. I think, however, OS X is the best of both worlds. If you want it to do everything for you then you can let it, but if you want to mess with the guts and customize everything you can do that to.
