Typical Linux review from a Windows user.
1. First, talk about what serious Windows "power user" (thats any oxymoron if there ever was one) you are and that any failure associated with the install is not your fault, its just that Linux isn't "ready".
2. Blather on and on about the installation and show way too many screen shots of the prorcess. Be sure to comment that Linux didn't detect and install 3D accelerated drivers for your Nvidia card and that you had to download them from Nvida. Be sure to mention that until "Linux" fixes this problem, its not "ready". Also forget to mention that Windows users also have to download drivers from Nvidia.
3. Attempt and fail to get a piece of shit USB device you dredged out of the bowels of Ebay working properly. Be sure to mention that until Linux works with this hardware nobody else was stupid enough to buy but you, that Linux isn't "ready". Fail to mention you couldn't get it working on you Windows machine either.
4. Install 17 different distributions of Linux desperately trying to get your useless USB device "auto-detected". When someone tells you about "modprobe", claim running a command is too "difficult", and be sure to throw in Linux isn't ready.
5. Complain and complain about every little thing possible so you forget why real "power users" choose Linux as their desktop.
