As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising Lindows 4.0.

If you want to use apt-get, use it, but it's not 'simple' as far as how 'normal' people with no computer experince define simple. Why?
1. Command line. That's a big no-no
2. Packages what? Novice users don't know what a package is nor they know what they are looking for exactly. Click'n'Run gives them a GUI that talks about 'programs' that does stuff for you. They don't have KOrginizer in Lindows. They have it under the name "Time Organizer" and all users have to do is to look at the description and click get and it's installed.
This _is_ what users expect and what.
