It's one of those catch phrases that never really seems to die out. Wherever you look in the operating systems world, at personal blogs written in crummy English, or at high-profile quality websites, there is bound to be someone, somewhere who used it. Even I, myself, used it in articles in a far and distant past, and I'm not particularly proud of it. "Ready for the desktop" is no longer acceptable - in fact, it's on its way out.

The point I was trying to make, I admit that it is kind of fuzzy, is that even people you would not think capable of switching to a Linux distro can do it.
The games I was talking about are all the ones you can get via the Add/Remove application. Click on it, look under games and it like shopping for them. No CD's to buy and they don't worry about system requirements. Tetris clones, samegames... you know, time wasters or puzzlers.
I know and agree that internet radio is not exclusive to a platform. However, it was so easy with Rhythmbox for her. I use Amarok personally, but to each their own. I had never heard of Screamer, but it looks nice for a windows app.
