You´re right, but the `dumb` User needs a standard. B.e. my Girlfriend was
very amased, she´s able to use netscape mail from Windows and LiNUX using
the Shared directory from the LiNUX Server. The Rest (KDE etc.) is always
critisied, since it does not work like Windows, except for the Crashes and
Installation time (5 Hours for Windows against 20 Minute for Linux) which
are way better under linux.
Now, if we could get out a Standard Desktop for LiNUX for the NAU (Normal
Average User), we should do it. What we need to achieve is to get them to
say when they sit in front of a Windows Box: Ugh, this doesn´t work like
on LiNUX... Then, world domination is in reach :)
PS: All this is my personal Opinion, and has nothing to do with the
Company I work for...
