Editorial To me, it's a miracle how every tiny article on OSNews.com, or any other tech-site, ends up in people shouting all sorts of nonsense at each other like "Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy", "Linux kept the cold war cold" or "Bill Gates wants to buy the moon and charge people for looking at it". Do these people really know what they are saying, or are they just going with the Open-Source flow? Update: Rebuttal article here.

im not very linux savvy, as in i need a graphic environment and am pretty much unable to do serious stuff from a command-line. i tried 3 linux distros on my pc for the past 6 months, and i just dont get how linux can possibly be ready for 'normal' users (after all those articles saying linux is ready for the mainstream desktop). i, personally, came to hate kde and gnome: slow, vaguely unresponsive, weird crashes left and right. yes, u understand this is not rolled out by a 50k employee company like microsoft, and its fine that way, but considering my level, this means i dont have much other choice than sticking to windows, like it or not..
