I kind of disagree a bit here...There is no requirement for linux to be dual boot and you need very little knowledge of the masterboot record to install linux...Why do you have to install linux yourself, most people dont install windows themselves anyway...I have people that i installed linux on there pc's 10 yrs ago and they still have a good os and have learnt how to update themselves now, but i also know people that have used windows for years and cant manage there os at all...The best tech in town dont want linux to be popular here, and he also installs and uses it...why dont he want it, recons he wont get enough work then and that most of his work is windows specific...virus problems is probably his biggest money spinner, so to get linux popular here will do away with his work load...and he admits that for a general user it is probably one of the easiest to use, but installing is where you use a tech...I get asked quite often to fix windows os's up because people cant get help off the net....even i have trouble finding info for windows and usually have to work it out...(and yes i have tried getting help from microsoft, dont ask)....
As for a broken os, well maybe you need to consider that..is windows not a broken os too...if it wasnt then we wouldnt be having this type of discussion...
