" But the reality is that burning files to cdrom is about the only managable way (for users savvy enough to even know where their files are) to transfer them between PCs. "

The only ?... savvy?... you mean here careless, which everybody is, even top scientists, or savvy is the not so clueless & dumb common joe/jane ?

All in all, it seams by your exposition that there is a dire need for Big, Fat, Bloated management features on all those desktops for helping users not be so careless and carry all those needed management tasks automatically and transparently(with voice Output/input also,perhaps) out of the hands of the lazy users.

Neither windows or KDE or Gnome is even close to that yet!
