how long it will be before people stop assuming that only geeks will want to run free software... years? months?

Decades? I tried to switch my uncle's PC to Linux, but failed miserably. The main problem was that none of the help files were useful: they were all in English, but he doesn't speak English. Some of the applications were also not localized. Also I wouldn't dare to try to install and configure the software required to syncronize with his mobile phone. It didn't worked on XP at first, but there at least he gets support from the operator. And there's the problem that one can't play DRM-ed porn on Linux.

Bye,NAR
