Just cuz someone in a family is linux capable does not mean general public is. Its not likely many people have had no exposure to a pc if they are buying one but they may not have the knowledge to realise what linux is and having a machine with linux installed may mean nothing to them till they get it home and finds it different. I wish there wasnt this constant one upmanship from Linux users some of whom think that they can use it anyone can. I know this is going to be disputed but windows is a hell of a lot easier massively more supported by software writers . Supported by tech support centres when something with a peripheral goes wrong etc. I wish the ours is better than yours would end and whats actually going to be the best thing for the low knowledge end user who may have been on a friends windows machine and just wants to be able to use it. If everybody had someone who could go and show them around linux then it would be fine but not everyone is so lucky.Please some of you nix users accept that just cuz you can use it does not mean everyone can and there is a real chance some customers will end up dispointed with a box that is of little use. This isnt down to linux its down to the retailer offering a lack of information

Erm....i was(am) the general public prior to landing on some strange website one day and i think my previous 4 months with a Windows computer really dont count for too much in the bigger scheme of things zing.PC(never mind linux) Incapable and most certainly the preverbial "pops"!!!!
And i didn`t get it pre-installed for me either
I dont know where your seeing this "mines is better than yours" attitude but i cant see it from anybody.......then again,it may just have reared it`s ugly head eh
