No, he went about his trial exactly how it should have been; from the perspective of someone who does not know the limitations. Linux cannot progress if it has a continual list of limitations that people are expected to know.

Maybe it's just the techy in me that looks at a product before ordering (ok he didn't order, but still) - the same can be said for ordering a PC with Vista, or an OSX Apple machine - I'd expect to do a little research to understand what I'm spending my hard earned on. I think I'd probably do the same if I was loaned an expensive laptop for a while ;)
