    Linux Desktop Readiness Thread

    Hi,

    I define an average-desktop-user as :

    users who have never worked with a computer
    users who have only worked with windows XP
    users who just want it to work

    with ready I mean :
    -easy
    -works out-of-the-box
    -has big benefits for end-users above windows XP

    I would like to see a discussion about

    -what features ubuntu misses (if any).
    -the feasibility of converting the average-desktop-users to ubuntu
