Linux will become ubiquitous in the year 3000. Okay, that was a horrible joke. Linux is just a kernel, the engine that runs an operating system. By itself, it is essentially useless. Kernels shouldn't be discussed or noticed by normal users. And as such when providing these users with reviews, previews and "professional" opinions, computer consultants, computer reviewers and computer journalists should not spew headlines like "Linux is not ready for prime time", "Linux on the desktop by XXX", "Linux to takeover Windows", "Linux is not ready for desktop" and so on.

yeah, you go for it !
dumb down the documentation in linux for the average guy in the street.
If you need someone to join in as a partner, give me a shout.
Too many of my friends/collegues will not even try linux after they had a look at it, for mainly the reasons you gave. Too complicated for them.
Not that they are dim.... well, not "too" dim hehehe
but you are right.
