I have not yet found anyone (even though I survey Linux aficionados) that agrees that Linux support for varied Monitor and Video-Card setups is even acceptable, let alone holding a candle to the likes of Win 7. Horror stories abound when we desribe our experiences and look for solutions when we try to do something as simple as upgrade a video card ( don't even think about changing _brands_ ! ) or get Dual Monitors (gasp!) to work (with one video card or two; apparently both paths are awful).

Come on, major distros ! Do you even ask your Beta testers to try such simple tasks, or do you read the Forums or Google the topics? If you do, you'll find hundreds of posts for the same problems over and over, and hardly any "solutions" offered that can be accomplished by the Windows user you're trying to win over. What ? "It's easy, Dummy: Become root and manually edit x-windows config files in a "command-line interface", re-run some config-update software with 7 nonsensical parameters, and by the way, if you mess up, your system will no longer boot" ? Get real.

Want bigger market share? Fix this.
