Let me jump in on this discussion: I think a lot could be made to make Windows users feel at home. Think of the "Lotus 1-2-3 mode" in Borlands' Quattro Pro. For instance, I'm sick of reading and hearing "that's not the way you do things in Linux" referring to command line incantations. So why can't linux provide default aliases for "dir" "copy" "move" and other Windows commmand line commands? Why not? Linux purists answer that "that's not the way we do things in Linux" and that "users should learn their new OS rather than try to copy the way Windows does things". I think that is wrong and is precisely one of the reasons of desktop linux minuscule market share.
