Implying you need super computer knowledge to run linux.
I did a test once, gave a girl friend an ubuntu CD, asked her to install it on my laptop and go check her email accounts.
Took her less then 40 minutes. There is basically nothing in the front end thats uber nerd about linux anymore. It's a 4 click install, and comes with EVERYTHING already. All the software is in one place.
Once the hardware venders start supporting it (which more and more have been) it will kill microsoft. A linux machine runs 9000 times better then a windows machine hands down anytime. Windows 7 is basically trying to be linux. Microsoft has stole code from linux GNU community before FYI.
Get an old computer thats lying around and try out a distro. I suggest Ubuntu for the new comer.
