lol, too much choices...

I don't think the common users has more choices with Ubuntu than with Windows XP for example.

They usually just don't care or don't know that there are plenty of different programs to chose, even in windows.

When first entering the GNU world they suddenly feel overwhelmed by the amount of applications but I think this is just because of the old elite hood still having a major place in the community and they are promoting different kinds of software for the same task.

Geeky Windows users do they same though, but you are less likly to meet them.
