Maybe, but then again I might just spend the extra money to make sure it worked like what I'm used to.
Actually that the exact issue that caused WinXP to fail the Dad test. My dad couldn't get a new Wintel box without WinXp, he was used to Win2000 and hasn't liked the changes, especially the sluggishness. This actually prompted him to ask to try KDE (on RH9) on the side. It's been a few months and so far so good.
It looks very much like Linux is will be ready for the desktop a long time before Windows will be ready for the Internet.
