The following are my results. Those of you that come from the Windows world may be a tad bit surprised at the ease in which software can be installed.

Let's see, what's easier and less confusing to the average computer user? Typing a bunch of commands in to a terminal window or downloading a file and clicking on it? You are definitely not looking at this through the eyes of most computer users. Whether people like it or not, Linux will not take any real market share on the desktop until the average user never has to use the terminal.
I hate Linux, but I hate Microsoft even more.
