Linux for the Masses (Score 1)

Why do you demand that people who use free software sign up for the politics? Is there supposed to be a minimum intelligence limit for your average Linux user? Although I may be wading through a few more newbie posts on newsgroups, I'm happy to see the new-found popularity of Linux and the attention it's brought to the free software effort. Making it more "doze-like" (if this is what's required to present a more friendly human interface) will only allow more users to escape the QA-hell that's Microsoft. Whether new users understand the different licensing models or philosophy behind it makes little difference to me. All this attention can only lead to more, higher quality free software.
