Can I ask upon what evidence you formed the opinion that it is unfriendly?
I know there are probably better forums to ask this question, and indeed I am asking it at other forums. But I think MR represents a community of people, many of whom have about the same amount of tech savvy as I have, who are comfortable with their computers but do have other hobbies (like reading), so their opinions seem most valuable to me.
Besides, if I asked at the Ubuntu forums, the answer will be skewed.

Of course, philosophically, this probably doesn't change a thing with your feelings about Windows.

If anything it makes me less likely to want to stick with Windows, since if I wanted Windows 7, I'd have to
pay for it.

Isn't there a version of Linux that's now very friendly? What type of Linux are the new Netbooks being loaded with?

My guess (for both questions) would be Ubuntu.
