I don't see why an OS can't be powerful AND easy to use?
All you'd need to do with take the GUI from Windows and pop it into Linux and then you've got Lindows, a powerful & easy to use OS.
Why should non-computer nerds be excluded from the wonderful world of computing? How would you like to be excluded from the world of driving, just because you're not a mechanic?
I'm not sure what any of that has to do with what I'm saying.
