Just to mention my opinion on this poll.
+I think it is useful and need to be diffuse. Evidently all points can not be 
+reached immediately. I am not an expert at all, but i used Mandrake, Mandriva 
+and Mageia for at least the last 8 years. More importantly, i tried to 
+convince friends to have a look at linux systems, and for some of them i 
+succeeded and bought with them machines which may have the more chances to run 
+linux successfully.
+The most difficult things, they have to admit is that the wifi, the sound, the 
+webcam of the laptop they bought wont work. They also want to enjoy most of 
+internet abilities, videos, and VOIP.
+However they easily admit somes advantages in term absence of virus risks, and 
+accept  to move towards new softwares.
+
+That's why I think we must focus on hardware recognition and the ability to 
+use some nonfree codecs. An easy installer is not in that case particularly 
+important, and the state reached by mageia actually is good.
