I agree that the GNOME desktop is quite idiot friendly.
Windows users will only be slightly uncomfortable with it.
Most of my friends who try out Linux give up after it doesn't play
*any* of the media they have.
I believe that it depends upon the attitude of the people because during
past one month my windows xp is corrupted,but I was using dual booted
Windows and Ubuntu super os.And on that time my brother and his friends
were using Ubuntu super os only but now even though after installing
windows xp they prefer to work only in ubuntu and i asked them why they like
ubuntu just told that they are comfortable with ubuntu because they can
install even windows games [nfs,gta etc,.] in ubuntu and ubuntu super os
comes with default support for all media types and also bundles with famous
media players like VLC,Real Player etc.And too games and special graphical
effects[like compiz,beryl,awn etc,.] which was amazed by most of my friends
too..
And even student of 5th grade in delhi public school learn Linux and in
Bangalore through ambedkar slum computing center the slum children [mostly
they are low educated] learn Linux and using gimp for drawing art and
optimizing their photography.

Even after all this days open source continues to appeal only to the
intelligentsia.
And I don't see that changing. Linux the kernel will probably see
*very* widespread use (eg. Android) but on a traditional desktop, I
don't think it can move beyond the 'intelligentsia'
