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.

Gotta disagree with you there. I just loaded Ubuntu on a box in my basement and was on the internet within five minutes of final installation. It used to have Linux Mint and I overwrote it with Ubuntu.

My kids were playing online video games within an hour.

You must be mistaken.  He said he's a software engineer.  

I must be mistaken as well because I got on the net within seconds of booting up.  I did have to input the mail server and passwords into Evolution for email, but I think that has less to do with me having to feel superior to everyone else (did I mention he pointed out that he's a software engineer) than it does that Ubuntu can't pull the passwords from my mind...

Maybe Windows can.  I wouldn't know, maybe the superior software engineer would know...
