David Faure: I do think that Linux will make it on the desktop. I think it has already made it to some desktops, and will continue to improve, thanks to user-friendly interfaces such as KDE, "konquering" (pun intended) JoeUser's desktop.
I think that KDE will only help linux succeed on the desktop when you can successfully use your computer without having to diddle around at a command prompt. If I want to set up a network and share it now I have to go through all kinds of hoops, for instance. This should be integrated 100% into KDE's interface.
