This poll seems business oriented. But if I look at people around me, the biggest problem is web-based apps, such as games. I mean simple but multi-player games such as chess, cards, etc. Both my mother and a neighboor would be ok to switch to Linux, but their favorites games, played online with other players around the world, are not Linux friendly:-(
So, with this new feature, will windows be ready for the desktop?
Because it is years now that we hear "this year is THE year, it is ready for the desktop !"
The big big company where I am currently working forces me to use windows. I requested Linux, and it would be better for my job: I am either doing email or connected to unix machines (Tru64, HP-UX and Sun).
But no, the corporate 'standard' is windows xp. That's irony when you know they sell hardware with Linux pre-installed:-/
They forces me to use windows, the security responsability is theirs.
If you want to keep in touch with friends and family during travel, create an email address with one of the many free webmail services available.
Then use only this adress while traveling, and only for casual messages, nothing important. Specify to your correspondants that this adress is temporary, and subject to be "stolen", so they should be suspicious regarding messages coming from it.
> Frankly who the heck is going to bother with the man pages and the command line?
Open Konqueror, and enter this address:
man:/
That's man pages, but without command line. Maybe that's not perfect, but better for people afraid of the CL (and there are a lot of them). I suppose Gnome has something similar.

Files: I start with a simple folder: "Files". In my case, "D:\Files". (I like folders Windows doesn't much know about, nor mess with.)
But how then can windows restore the subfolders "My Pictures" and "My Music" when they are accidentaly deleted ?
And so does the average EU member...
