Probably not Joe User. Joe User doesn't know if they are using a Windows PC or a
Linux box.

As an example our users at work, I replaced a bunch of Windows PC with Mandrake
9.2 and RedHat 9 and no one questioned the difference. The only thing the users
said was that it was actually faster :)

But me personally, I'd never try out another OS unless I saw some screenshots
first. Screenshots make people go - "oh wow that looks cool, I might try it 
out".

Even apps. If apps on BeBits, don't have screenshots, I usually don't check them
out unless I really want to.
