I'm a long-time Windows user, but for years I've been searching for an intelligent alternative. Macs are actually a great choice, but have you priced them lately? I don't have two grand to spend for another system. I had been reading all the hoopla surrounding Xandros Desktop for a number of months and decided to take the plunge. I had been burned two times previously trying to install other Linux distributions. Their tech support was non-existent. I'm essentially working in a vacuum. When something has gone wrong in the past, I've found that I was on my own.

Paul is right, we have to "go out of ourselves" and look at these distros from the point of view of the end user - the average user. I don't mean that we cannot talk about the merits or demerits of a distro here among ourselves, but when we start talking about the end user, we have to leave that behind.
That is why I think Lindows pre-installed has a shot, no matter the various things that could be said against Lindows. The Xandros Netwaork doesn't have much on it yet and the same is true of Lycoris' IRIS, although they have more. So, it will be interesting to see if Xandros is able to get their Network to be a good download library.
