Wait a minute, this *IS* useful... (Score 1)

I am somewhat surprised at the rather sharp condemnation this project received, especially considering the obvious utility of it. If you want people to switch to Linux, they need to see that Linux has something to offer aside from propoganda. If they can try the applications that Linux offers, such as The Gimp, perhaps they will actually take Linux seriously. Am I wrong in thinking that there needs to be a bridge between worlds that the average user can cross? The single most difficult part of trying Linux applications currently is installing Linux; you need to set aside space for it, repartition your drive (possibly) and finally experience an installation process that you could only describe as friendly if you were one of the Sopranos. If you could simply download and exeute a Linux application, without having to do anything special or difficult, your initial experience would be vastly improved.
