    wat would happen if a stupid persons linux would be released

    just wondering what would you guys would think would happen if someone made a stupids persons linux aka user friendly and what it would have to include.

    firstly theyd have to make lots and lots of GUIs and virtually never require the console.
    theyd have to hide the loading screen cause ppl would freak if they ever saw a red FAIL
    there would have to be an automatic compiler for source code, even if it is as easy as it is.
    whenever u click on something like an sh it better not ask for a "run in console" and just go ahead and do it.
    they would have to be a funky looking console to make ppl believe its not controlling the heart of the system.

    ok thats just a few off the top of my head. what do u guys think[/i]

    Actually, according to http://mslinux.org (down at the bottom), MS Linux is only $249.99.

    The extra $90 is the MS tax, inflated like everything else they do.
