Then you have not seen me swear when I started with Linux on my own
machine and was unable to read another floppy, because the first one I had
forgotten to unmount. Rebooting was my only option then (due to lack of
knowledge) and you can imagine how usefull I thought the system was.
Now imagine the folloing questions: When I not in Gnome or in KDE, I am
unable to read my CD's. I personally would be not a very happy person and
would think that the Windows zealots are right: Linux is not ready for the
desktop if it even can not do such a simple task.
Yes, I understand that there are disadvatages about automounting. For most
users these are not valid. People who actualy realy want automounting
switched of, that should be easier to do then in the past. However these
are most likely also more advanced users.
