Having no prior Linux experience, I now surf, read ebooks and pdfs, watch movies and stream music on my N800. Effortlessly. It's not brain surgery. It's the same learning curve as with any tech: try try try oh I see.

This great little devive has required no more than 60-90 minutes of learning time, and that mainly to find and install certain packages. It's imperfect--what isn't? But surely it isn't mystifying in some fatal way that could be cured by a Microsoft UI.
