Over the years I have purchased windows systems that were "pre-installed", bare systems and installed Windows, bare systems ans installed Linux, bare systems and installed Unix, bare systems and installed Xenix. In every instance, except the "pre-installed" system, there was usually something small or unusual that I encountered, but it was of no real consequence.
If the "average user" wants to buy it, turn it on, and have it work, then maybe the manufacturers should offer "pre-installed" Linux systems. They will be come lowest common denominator type of system just like the "pre-installed" windows systems are. If a system like that is useful for you, then more power to you.
Just this week I disabled the Microsoft automatic updates to my XP system. The last video driver update from MS really screwed up system and it took me several hours to remove the old driver and choose one (they were all labeled EXACTLY the same) that actually worked! I have NEVER had that problem with ANY Linux / Unix system.
