I think it has been for 18 or so months. And when I say that I mean for the Average Joe and Jane. Imagin another 18 months of getting it easyer to uses for Joe and Jane. Geeks still have the hard core distro. My wife infact became sick of XP and so I installed Mandrake 9.1. She is IM'n, Burning CDs, browsing, using Mozilla. There are only one or two pet programs left to replace for windows. She at this time is a little put off when installing software on her own, thats were Linux the desktop needs work. I belive thats what Lindows claim to fam is (in part).
