There exists a fair number of open source and free (as in $) video editing programs for Linux such as Cinelerra, kdenlive and LiVES. Admittedly I haven't used any of them (or even iMovie or Windows Movie Maker for that matter) to any great extent. Their existence could level the playing field, though (if someone wanted to provide/find a bootable Linux CD with them installed, for example).
