Novices are the target market. Novices and users comfortable with any linux distro. I'd say my parents could be described as the former and myself as the latter and all of us use Ubuntu comfortably*. It's the computer users with the little knowledge of Windows that are going to be experiencing problems. People who want to continue gaming without knowing about wine or those who want to use their vb scripts.
Anyhow, it's a good way to use your existing Windows cd and not bother buying another xp license or (horror) a Vista license.
In Black Hawk Down (the book that is) the 5.56 round would pass straight through the target (thus not incapacitating him) while the 7.62 rounds fired by a special operative armed with an M14 had the desired effect on the Mob of the Mog.
Why? All the 5.56 rounds were armour piercing. Apparently the US military didn't consider facing enemies without body armour and had only acquired the 5.56 AP round.
Despite the AK being less accurate than the M16 this did not matter in the Vietnam theatre. Jungle warfare ranges are rarely larger than 20metres. Enough for the AK to be used effectively. What did matter were the penetration qualities of their rifles in which the AK exceeded its M16 counterpart. It was able to shoot through a tree whereas the M16 was not.

What trash of an article. Obviously never been anywhere cultured.
