Ubuntu does a great job of making Linux more intuitive for new users. I think the greatest thing about Ubuntu is their support forum. Almost any problem I had on Ubuntu was addressed on their forums. It's not only a great introduction to Linux but is great for experienced users alike. Linux has come so far since a decade ago.
As for your comment about aMSN, wills, I also wish Linux had video chat support for MSN Live Messenger. Imagine my disappointment after downloading aMSN upon reading that it had video chat on the website. I tried starting a webcam conversation, and it brought up the video and audio setup. After I finished the entire setup, it then finally decides to tell me that video chat is unavailable. Thank you, Microsoft!
Personally, apart from some software inconvenience that I overcome with a virtual machine, it's hard for me to dislike Linux. I love the "difficulties" that most new users encounter. It's a lot of fun for me to figure out solutions to my problem.
