What if Linux Took a Vista 'Mojave' Test?
With the perceived success by Microsoft regarding their Mojave experiment (at least in the eyes of Microsoft PR reps), I found myself wondering how today's popular desktop Linux distributions might do under identical circumstances.
Without actually duplicating what Microsoft put together with their Mojave experiment, some basic Linux usability factors can be examined by looking at the most common factors as seen by average users. And yes, because of the target audience of such an experiment, I left out security – clearly, based on current malware infection numbers, it’s not on the minds of the casual computer user.
So instead of yammering on about theory, I’ll present some of the scenarios provided in the Mojave experiment and see where Linux options would have put participants.

Don't bother reading. The whole point of mohave was to show users that windows vista looked and acted like windows xp _under the right conditions_. So such a test for linux would just be a wow thing. Like showing off network manager the free office suites, and compiz just to get a good reaction, but not going into any more detail than just what's on the surface.
