There is a big difference between a user guide for people new to Linux
and PCs, documentation for others
and a starter pack for migrating users from other OSs. As it is the
user guide has plenty of references to 'things in M$Windows'.
I think it will be a better idea to transfer those to a starter pack.
The user guide can then be used by people new to Linux and PCs
...or should we split the latter function as well?

Many parts require modification. It is biased towards Gnome.
