I think pre-installed Linux is a bad idea if you not good enough to install it you shouldnt be messing with it. For the avrage consumer microsoft is the best product out there. It seems to have become a 'status symbol' to hate microsoft which is stupid and petty. All companys are about making money and that includes Apple and linux companys the only diffrance it microsoft have been the best at it.
End of the day microsoft make great products and their main reason for their success is the standard of their products. Office and winXP for example are excellent bits of software.
And how many people here use a XBOX?

Actually, I believe it was my point (the one Jerrek was answering)
And, my point was that it would be relatively easy for one of the larger companies to take an OS like Linux, and put a nice GUI on it, in much the same way Apple did with FreeBSD (Mac OSX). I was not necessarily advocating the use of current distributions on Linux.
