I don't think that is the intent. I don't think this is the intent of the Gnome3 developers either. However, as Linux moves from a niche to prominenance we are going to pick up the ID10Ts that will click on a button just to see what happens and then cry when their Gnome installation is broken and cannot follow obviously simple instructions. Then they go out and trash Linux. Never mind they brought this upon themselves, Linux sucks and that is their mantra.

Hopefully, Gnome3 will bring more folks into the light and see Windows for the brokenness it is.
