I think Linux will eventually get around to satisfying people of your
ilk. That is, non-hacker end user just trying to balance the
checkbook and write a letter.
But first, there is a huge crowd of able bodied and capable unix
literate users that Linux will appeal to, and they are the primary
target. Why? Because they are actually capable of contributing to
the improvement of the system. So you can almost think of this
as a recruitment drive. When most major problems are solved,
the "I don't really care how it works" crowd can be serviced.
Until then, you may want to stick with DOS/WINDOWS, painful
as it may be.
Peter.
