The reliance on Command Prompt and -Sudo commands will put off 80% of windows users unfortunatley.
IF they could package EVERYTHING like windows does and make it less scary for noobs then they would be onto a winning product.
Also, the help forums are generally populated by techies who cannot explain things in laymans terms.
At least they arent full on hostile like Apple or Windows help forums!!
yes i do see sudo putting off most users and valve talked about how this would put most users off so there going to make it easier .
i dont mind the sudo now that im used to it how ever i would be all for them steam lining it to have it so that u can just update like you do with mac .same with the kernel updates seeing how many times i look for one i was on 3.11 then 3.11.1 and so forth .
they work real fast

so if they update it automatically .
then i can see everyone jumping ship .and mixvibes having there DVS in the Ubuntu store
