That is an interesting point. Some people just want to click a .exe and have it do everything for you.
I am about 1.5 years into using Linux, and I remember how confusing and seemingly pointless it was to type:
./program-to-run
when in a directory, rather than:
program-to-run
and also having to sometimes make an executable executable, it actually made me angry that someone was MAKING me do all this stupid work and wasting my time. I can appreciate this angle.
I think the solutions are very simple, it just means that Linux developers have to now provide for 'windows users'. They have to imagine how a Windows user would get confused by something as simple as the command line and make it easy for them. It will be technically very easy, but a 'paradigm shift'.
