"There are a number of things preventing Windows users from moving en masse to Linux. While the naming of applications is probably not a make-or-break issue when considering a new operating system, it is a legitimate consideration. This is the case because many of the names chosen for Linux programs are downright confusing, and the last thing desktop Linux needs right now is to make the transition from Windows or the acquisition of new users any harder than it has to be."

I was just about to write about this.
KDE has a similar menu (the screenshot in the article shows KDE): Konqueror (Webbrowser) ...
Though this might have changed by now, since I don't use KDE that much.
That guy claims he is a linux advocate. So he is an advocat since five minutes or what? How can he overlook this "oh so visible feature"? Maybe because another "Linux is so soooo flawed" article generates more hits.
