I liked the review, as it was written in the perspective of the normal user who is tired of Windows, wants to try something else, but then gets frustrated because distros don't realize that normal users don't know nor want to know how to sudo anything. I myself have given up on Ubuntu (although it and Fedora are my faves) because I can't figure out how to get two monitors to work in a spanned mode. Most users again are not going to know nor want to know how to edit their X.org file or whatever.

My feeling is when Linux distros realize that we all aren't Linux gurus, and some of us don't like having to research in order to get a wireless card or codecs to work, then and only then will it start to put a dent in the M$ world. Don't get me wrong I love where Linux has come from and would love to see it more widely used, however every time I install a distro, something in it (dual monitors, networking, etc) pushes me back to Windows, and that can't happen for Linux to take off. We're getting close..
