There's a period at the start of a relationship with a generous gift giving ceremonies and a presumption of basic trust.
What often seems to kill the relationship is different expectations. Many users want to be pampered, or at least taken care of cheaply. While foss expects involvement or if you want to be taken care of it's expensive. Because of economies of scale.
So if you're a FOSSP, don't hide your relationship model! Set expectations!

A friend defends MS Windows, stating it is designed for the corporate environment with an IT department and trainings.
