Again, I've been using Linux for a very long time, so the issue isn't what my own personal preferences are: I've had other options and have always come back to Linux for a myriad of reasons that I won't bother with here as you will all probably agree with all of them. I guess the point that I was making is that if the goal is to get more people to migrate to Linux, the little things have to work. There was a time when I revelled in having to stay up all night to get my video card working by playing with settings editing XF86Config in vi. Most people want their computer to actually work, though, and that means that the little things have to work, too.
