When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

It seems that "there" is Windows. People seem to think linux will be there, when they can take everything they have learnt in windows and apply it to linux "out of the box" (tm).
At the moment, linux != windows. In time, the various elements most complained about by windows switchers may improve. However, that would accelerate greatly if there were more linux users. So if you're a windows user, who is genuinely interested in improving desktop computing, wants to get rid of the MS monopoly and the stifling influence that has on innovation, then suck it up for a bit, and install linux. It'll be hard, you'll have to learn some stuff, and you'll get frustrated from time to time, but in the end, we'll all be better for it.
Posting reviews about how linux != windows is pointless in my view. We all know that - there is no new ground being broken here. They only way to improve linux is to install linux and use it.
