I think the biggest 'choice' holding back linux is which distro to use. A lot of people seem to be focusing on the choice of applications. But If someone decides to give linux a shot, they should not be faced with even 3 distributions to choose from. They should be handed one. They have to be comfortable with linux in general to even comprehend the idea of multiple distributions.
Keep in mind, windows is windows. Mac is mac. Linux is mandrake, red hat, suse, gentoo, debian....

Sure, it's neat, but it's also been around for quite a while. Are we going to /. every extension that's been written for fire{bird|fox}?
