"Microsoft..."
Not sure what having a standardized version of Linux has to do with Microsoft other than the fact that Microsoft is standardized.
Are the benefits of all this choice worth the headache for new users? I say no. However, there is solution for all: have a standardized version of Linux, and people can still continue running their own favourite distributions too.
When people goto the store to buy a battery, they want it standardized, not some unique thing that won't work with their equipment.
"Just try it. It only costs time."
Time I don't have/want to spend looking through all the distributions when the solution is easy: to have a standardized version.
As well, why is there KDE vs Gnome, someone should make a version that combines them, the best of each.
