Average Joe
Doesn't install his own operating system at all. He buys a name brand computer which comes preloaded. Maybe he'll go out and buy a couple apps or maybe he orders what he needed preloaded. If average Joe did install windows he'd probably be lost when the video or sound drivers weren't included and run it forever in the 16 or 256 color mode. Everyone in here is at least ahead of average joe. Everyone in here is smart enough to learn what they want to learn for their own reasons and not let other people tell them what their opinions should be. The same people come here daily to make negative comments on open source and linux. They are simply full of crap period. Do I need to explain it more than that?
