In my opinion, email is not the problem, but general ease-of-use is. I have dabbled in linux in the past, but I actually had to try about 3 different distros before I actually found one that would properly configure X to work properly (stupid shitty onboard video card wouldn't completely disable, leading to problems with hardware detection, but that's not my point). I think a lot of people would use linux if it weren't seen as a nightmare to setup
Why can people still run 16 bit apps in windows? Last I checked, Windows has been able to run 32 bit applications since at least Windows 95, which came out over 10 years ago? Obviously, this feature is there for compatibility reasons, but is that even needed anymore?
