Of course, none of us would actually do that, but what I'm trying to say is that's the threshold. For linux to become mainstream like plenty of users on here seem to vehemently believe, it HAS to start taking cues from windows, that means easier install methods, dumbed down and less terminal based procedures, and more support from mainstream and less open source software manufacturers. Otherwise the average person is going to look at linux and say "that looks hard." full stop.

And I would reckon a lot of those changes would not go over well with current Linux userbase
