    Not being configurable might make software easier to use for computer-illiterate people. However, there are quite a lot of UN*X users that can cope quite fine with complexity, and aren't afraid of options.

    This whole "Linuxs on the desktop" thing is going in a very strange direction, IMHO. Why do people choose UN*X as a desktop system in the first place? I for one don't care about newbie-friendliness that much, all I want is a powerfull, efficient, open and stable system that is a pleasure to use and doesn't treat me like an idiot.
