'"Reaching masses" will not make Linux worse`
Well, actually, this _is_ a real concern. Installing unneccessary services is a security hazard, as is having more than is neccessary running with root privelege. In the interests of "convenience" Lindows has unfortunately run foul of both of these traps.
I for one do not want to see the legendary reliability & security benefits of linux over Windows undermined by insecure distributions, however large their user base.
