An ex-Microsoft employee is arguing that Linux is ready for the primetime and that only thing keeping it away is the number of bugs it has. He claims that if these few high-importance bugs are fixed one way or another, Linux can become a dominant power in the desktop OS world.

You don't have to use the terminal at all, unless you're using sourcebased distributions like Gentoo.
Take one of the more mainstream distributions like Fedora and Suse, and you won't have to use the terminal.
I like the terminal, so I'm also using it on Windows, even though the terminal in XP (and Win2K3) is extremely laggy.

The only thing that I don't like is the use of the constant mouse based UI, I don't use the mouse on GNULinux so I don't wanna use it in Windows.

ps. GNULinux distrobutions such as linspire, redhat, SUSE are very big on the, use a mouse for everything idea.
