Options & choices can confuse & frustrate, as counterintuitive as that
may sound, it's true! Ever heard of a book: The Paradox of Choice - Why
More Is Less by Barry Schwartz. The target audience for Ubuntu 11.04 has
NEVER seen Linux. Give THEM (we don't count) too many unfamiliar
choices; they won't choose Linux. Give the AVERAGE automobile driver
(cost, repairs aside) the option to have manual or automatic
transmission MOST will choose NOT to choose gear selection: automatic is
preferred by most (I HATE automatic transmission BTW)
