When will people start drawing the line between an intuitive interface and one that has been learned? Windows is no more intuitive than Gnome or KDE. Ever tried to explain how to use windows to someone who has never used a computer before or is clueless? They don't understand anything. Therefore, teaching them KDE, Gnome, or Windows will provide the same headaches. People say windows is more intuitive, but that is simply because it is more recognized, and people are more familiar with it. That does NOT mean the interface is more intuitive. Intuitive means you can sit down and use it without knowing anything about it. Gnome, KDE, and Windows are at the same level of "intuitiveness" (is that a word?) in that regard.
