Thing is just -- just wait for how long it takes said clueless user you

expensive yet popular program, playing a game, installing a wiggling 
nudies screensaver, ...

The difference here is just that Linux systems are particularly bad at 
those tasks to begin with which in nice circular motions keeps those 
clueless users away, obviating the need to protect ourselves from them. 
If this stuff is to be discussed in a context as if Linux were relevant 
on the desktop though, I believe it's rather unproductive to expect a 
fundamental difference with Windows in this respect.

Fine though if you wouldn't insist on that context. As said, wasn't 
following along really.


I'll leave it in just in case it spurs someone :)
