Apple demonstrated that one can wrap a Unix-like system with a GUI environment and make it completely usable with GUI alone. But notice that they're not limiting themselves to ideal Unix philosophies or X. I'm sure Linux can accomplish this same, but they're going to need some big changes for sure (and these changes will probably anger a lot of Unix enthusiasts).
Let's not talk about people using computers for their first time. The concept of the mouse is even difficult for these users (for example, elderly people). There's a learning curve for Windows too. You really do take your knowledge of computing for granted.
