I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

"Well, basically it comes down to this:
1. Download/install a personal firewall program such as ZoneAlarm or Sygate
2. Download and install an AV program
3. Don't use Internet Explorer
4. Go to Windows Update about once a month and download any critical updates you find
5. Don't install anything available online until you've gone to Google and do a search for <appname> spyware and/or read user comments for the app on download.com."
Now we see why Windows is "so easy to use," and "just works." Could you imagine having to do step 5 EVERY TIME before you install a new app?
