THATS why they are using Lindows instead of a "l332t" distro like Debian or Slackass. (That joke about Slackware was said with love.)
Lindows has the whole point+and+download thingy, and installation of 3rd party software is likethe #1 ease-of-use problem in Linux. (Drivers also count as software.)
If you can solve program installs, Linux can be as easy if not easier than Windows. But until we have a standard installation method that doesn't suck like RPM, it's going to be quite hard to use.
(And I have heard good things about Debian, though I have never used it so I can't judge it one way or the other.
