maybe the main problem is that no operating system is suited to be used 
without a qualified sysadmin. at least the ones commonly used on pc's. i 
guess what most people would be glad to use is a playstation-like pc. 
just enter a cd labelled "word processing", push the "on" button and 
type away. neither windows nor any linux distribution are really suited 
for the average john doe. he doesn't want to waste his time installing 
drivers, configuring firewalls, etc.. when he  could play soccer with 
his kids.  the kids rather wanting to play with their playstation than 
with their dad is a different matter ;)

best regards,
