I'm not trying to prove you wrong with this post, but for an average
user that is not really able to do himself the "housekeeping" in the
OS (besides applying updates), I'd say you will find / have found more
fundamental changes switching from Windows XP to Windows 7 than you
would have got switching from Windows XP to Mandriva Linux (or many
other Linux distros, for that matter). The times when using Linux
implied typing "obscure" commands (*) to get the system up and running
are now a past thing.

(*) quoting "obscure" because, actually, there is a lot of available
documentation for them anyway, but it is true that you needed to know
which those commands were actually to be typed.
