I'd love to see a common rubric (Score 2, Interesting)

I wish some review sites come up with a common rubric to rate OS's. Things like different multimedia files running out of the box, graphical interfaces for system tasks, graphical package manager, ability to install 3rd party applications through windows like mouse click, or simply able to run most, etc. They could have it be an easy checklist where you check which functions it had and in the column next to it what it used to due it. It would make it easier for people to review distributions and if some smart desktop people got involved create a nice roadmap to get desktop linux sealing the final holes consumers notice.

There could even be some sparate ones for advanced users, or for server use. I would love that easy and visual comparison and would love to contribute if I knew what to look for aside from the typical "I liked it, install was quick".
