That is typical thinking of someone proficient in computers. Computers and notebooks usually come pre-loaded with Windows XP which serve all the purposes a normal PC user needs. Linux is more of a 'hype' or 'fad' for such users and no one wants to run around multiple hoops (change bios options, boot from cd, search sound drivers, repartition hard disk, change default OS) just to try out something new. This idea is great as it would remove all these roadblocks and apprehensions to install Linux on their system. If we had to run a hundred hoops to install Mozilla Firefox we won't have had all those FF users who make a 4% share.
