I agree with Kirk.  Linux is simply not for everyone.  Although I use
Linux for 90% of my computer tasks I still use Windows for that 10%.
That 10% mainly consists of online banking/billing because of the java.
I do find the access that I get with Window-Eyes and Internet Explorer
to be very nice.  As to the comments on sound editing and cd ripping I
know it can be done in Linux but I personally am not into it so don't
know how easy it would be.  I'm sure anything within reason can be done
in Linux and in time everything will be easy for blind users.

I personally don't mind the editing of config files, command line, etc
but I agree that some people who have never been exposed to it will be
hard-pressed to try it.  Also others  who may have used command line
utilities such as dos may look at how "easy" their world has been and
not want to go back to more typing.  Still, others may just be lazy and
want an OS to control their computer without their say-so.  *lol*
