Once you hit that point, the discussion moves from "general dumb user ease of use" to "more tech saavy" user. You didn't use the qualifier "most", "many", or some other word to denote a part of.
Like both DJMaze and I said, the problem doesn't come in simply clicking icons (which I agreed with you, Linux is no harder to use than Windows or OS X) but in installing applications (DJMaze added drivers, which I agreed with) and mantaining the system (though obviously me and DJMaze disagree on some points).
If ease of use, to you, ends with opening up applications that IT dept. installs, clicking icons, and using tools -- then the dispute is not about the ease of use of Linux but the ease of use of those specific applications.
