I disagree. He makes a very valid point. New installs of Windows always
come up with a tutorial and "helper" app. I have never seen anything like
that on Linux. It's as if the developers are too busy with programming the
next iteration of their favorite app to be bothered with documentation, and
NO ONE has yet come up with a grand-unified "help" document (trust me "man
$appname" doesn't always work...)


Seriously? You aren't really trying to argue the point that windows has better documentation than GNU/Linux.

That and the *goal* shouldn't be who has the most users. The *goal* should be a desktop that does what the user base needs it to do. The GNU/Linux user communities need to stop this nonsense of trying to compete with Windows and/or OS X. Instead we should be focusing on building an operating system that works for the existing user base. If its good other people *will* learn it.
