Bruce,

try :

Also, having taught Windows and Linux to new users, let me say that teh 
learning curve is relatively equal - some things Linux users find easier, 
some things Windows users find easier. But KDE has a lot of the stuff Windows 
has (hence its bloat...), and I have had many Windows users comment on how 
easy it is to learn...

Actually, I prefer training those with NO experience - no preconceived ideas 
on how a desktop should be:)
