Just yesterday, I was chatting with a non-techie, but otherwise a very savvy guy who uses IM, email, surfs the web a lot, watches online movies, etc. And I pasted a link to my new web site over IM - and he asked me how to visit the web site - whether he should copy and paste it into a browser.
If he can do that, forget about people like my parents or my father-in-law. They already don't understand anything other than a browser!
Until recently, on one of my outdated sites, I used to get so many emails through my contact-us form from people who put in "www.joe@hotmail.com" or something similar as their email address!
People are clueless. If Linux can't cater to the lowest common denominator, they will never get into the household market, and will remain in enterprises and geek-households only.
