No, that would be far too simple. It has a button with the letter K on it. The K button is no larger or more appealing than the collection of other buttons you get on startup.
Intuitive, I don't think.
I suppose it could be worse; it could be a foot or something.
It's not hard for most linux users, but think about somebody who really isn't all that concerned with computers, they just use fun programs.
Typing this:
tar -xzf my_new_program.tgz
cd my_new_program_0.0.9997_i386 ./configure
make install
is a lot more difficult than double clicking the.exe you downloaded and then clicking "Next" a few times. To make matters worse, a typical configure && make throws up loads of spew to the console that terrifies non-tecchies.
To get a feeling for the type of people I'm talking about, try subscribing to some mailing lists for photoshop or a similar art package. You'll find most users don't really care about how their computers work, so long as they can use it to get their work done.
To continue your car analogy; the ashtray is linux, the open window is, err, Windows. The ash tray is easy, but flicking your ash out the window is easier.
I wonder how long it will be before the US occupies another country for its IP addresses. Hey, if my Prime Minister bends over far enough he might get a share of the spoils.
I see an advert on the page where you type your username in saying:
"Tired of being treated like a criminal for sharing music online?"
You may be tired, but it is theft, and you are a criminal. If the artists wanted people to share their music online, then they'd release it in MP3 format on the internet. Some artists do that, some don't.
If you have beef with the way that record companies go about their business, don't buy their records. I don't like the way some fast food joints treat their staff, but that doesn't give me the right to steal their product.
"'The UK's broadband boom is likely to falter unless more progress is made towards combating digital piracy'."
The UK's broadband boom has been caused by digital piracy. Kazaa and the like are nearly the only reason anyone I know has got a broadband connection. The only other reason is online gaming, but everybody I know who plays games also downloads music and films.

Well that's hardly difficult seeing as they sucked ass. X wings and TIE fighters on the other hand looked like they actually had someone engage their brain before making them.

Because the Sun box would spank it silly on performance. It's not just about the GHz, you know.

Actually, no, that'll never happen.

When a goto is safe, readable and tidy then you should use a goto.
30 years ago we didn't need monkeys to press Ctrl-Alt-Del on Windows servers, but now you can get a qualification and a job out of it.
