A consumer device like a computer needs to be usable by the average user. This
means that it has to be as intuitive as possible. Whenever someone says they
"don't like computers that are made for idiots", what they are really saying is
they like computers that are complicated and take time to master. If that's what
you want, fine, but you are the minority.

I've been using computers since before hard drives, mice, and modems were
standard equipment. TR-DOS, DR-DOS, MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 - 7, Mac OS 8.5.3 -
10.6.8 and I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu to do what I want. I shouldn't have
to ask for help to do something as installing the latest version of Firefox
after downloading it.

The future of Linux is to be in the niche market of geeks greater than me
until a focus on the user experience is taken. That is a shame, though.
Microsoft needs a competitor in the PC market. It will improve Windows AND
Linux.
