I think even now, though, kids will find Macs easier to learn than the Linux. Certainly, adults still do.

You only think that because you didn't
start with Linux. You would need to change in order to use it. That's always harder. Linux is only as complicated as you want to make it. There's plenty of flavors that offer point and click nirvana (in both installation and everyday use). It's got nothing to do with one interface being easier to use than the other.
But enough about Linux. The idea that Apple is now the World's Largest Company because they offer the most intuitive interface to non-technical users is silly. Three words: marketing, Joneses, and herd.
Not that I think any of those are inherently evil, I'm just saying their success is not all about having the best (easiest) interface for average Joe Technophile... it's not even the main reason.
