Well... This might all be well in the USA where an Apple Store with good staff is just around every corner by now. (Kidding...) - Here in Switzerland, most people will probably see Macs for the first time when they go to Manor's multimedia floor. Something like Best Buy, I'd say. The staff doesn't know about Macs, the Macs are in terrible states (either there's a screensaver running, password protected so people can actually only look at the _hardware_, not at Mac OS X at all, or they're hanging at some point) and they have usually _one_ iMac to show and next to it have the price tags for all iMac models. (So they might show the 20" version, but the price tags also show the 17" version. Mix and match? Erh...)

So you guys think a live CD is not the way to go. Because it's not a good experience. Then Apple should simply _make_ it a good experience. Thank you.
