Because companies have the necessary resources to provide the kind of
support a newbie requires (e.g., IBM, HP, RedHat, Canonical or SUSE are
good examples for this). No user-driven mailing list can help these kind
of newbies in the same way that a company does, if someone told you so it
wasn't being sincere.

By your replies I can deduce that either:
a) You have never installed a OEMized version of Windows or,
b) You are not very skilled user because these versions provide a wizard
that only asks you no more than 5 basic questions, or
c) You're simply joking...
