This is an excellent point.  Anybody remember when there was (is?) a stigma associated 
with being an AOL user, as opposed to using a real ISP?  AOL made things easy enough 
that the less adept could 'get on the internet', where they were generally reviled by 
the old-hands, who were more of a select, 'nerd' elite.

My guess is it'll be the same thing as the less technical people start migrating to 
linux.

well, unlike you there are now starting to be a number of linux users that
are just windows users in disguise.;-)  case in point, duheveloper comes to
me with his laptop and tells me his "windows oracle doesn't work anymore".
someone had installed linux on the laptop with dual boot defaulted to linux
running gnome.  and he couldn't tell the difference.  boot into windows and
every thing works fine.
