Can Ordinary PC Users Ditch Windows for Linux?

..for both personal and professional computer use, I want access to all multimedia functions. While solutions may exist to almost every problem I encountered, I was willing to invest only a limited amount of time as a system administrator. Claims by some Linux publishers that anybody can easily switch to Linux from Windows seem totally oversold.

It seems that that author was using ‘dumbed down’ versions of Linux to begin with, but still was confused by it all. Linux is obviously for some, but not for all. Check out the posting at Slashdot.
