Did you ever read what CentOS was build for?

"CentOS exists to provide a free enterprise class computing platform to anyone who wishes to use it. " (from centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=3 ).

It isn't a dummies distro. You can try ubuntu who is build for:

"The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. ... Ubuntu is suitable for both desktop and server use." (from ubuntu.com ).

I'm pretty sure that linux isn't for everybody. You can prefer windows or linux, is not my problem :D

But please don't compare them, they are two different Operative System, with a different tech profile, built in a different way. Is like to compare a fiat 500 and a ferrari. You can prefer a fiat 500 because of it's easier to use and to understand what to do but it's different from a ferrari, you can't compare them.
