After 60 years UNIX (aka linux) still cannot come out of the box and install itself and give a user one double-click access to email

Gee, by that standard there isn't ANY operating system that works.

For instance, here is a FOUR PART TUTORIAL on how to install Windows 7.

That's right. A four part tutorial. On how to install just the OS. Installing an office suite, a decent email client and web browser not to mention all of the addons required to actually put a Windows machine on the Internet (spyware remover, anti-virus, firewall) are NOT part of the FOUR PART TUTORIAL.

On the other hand, I can boot a Live CD of Ubuntu and be on the 'net, browsing web pages, sending email and creating Word documents and PDF files in under 5 minutes.

Then why does “ubuntu’ (who dreams up these silly names anyway) have such a small share?
