Comment It has to be 'seamless' (Score 1) 364
People don't want to mess around making every little thing work. Personally, I was sick of Windows, and Vista finally made me decide to switch to something else. I tried Ubuntu 3 or 4 times and Fedora Core. They were great at 'almost' working, but it seemed like there were far to many steps to get to have the machine fully functional.
I use my machines for media hubs, and there were so many hoops to jump through to get everything to work in Linux, I just gave up. I bought a Core 2 Duo Imac, and I'll probably never touch Linux or Windows (at home) again. Unix based systems don't have to be hard to use, Apple proves that. If only the distros could eliminate some of those hoops.
