Linux will become ubiquitous in the year 3000. Okay, that was a horrible joke. Linux is just a kernel, the engine that runs an operating system. By itself, it is essentially useless. Kernels shouldn't be discussed or noticed by normal users. And as such when providing these users with reviews, previews and "professional" opinions, computer consultants, computer reviewers and computer journalists should not spew headlines like "Linux is not ready for prime time", "Linux on the desktop by XXX", "Linux to takeover Windows", "Linux is not ready for desktop" and so on.

Nothing original here. This is just every tired argument rolled into one nice FUD article.
Now there will be 100 posts of: Linux works on my desktop and 100 of: Linux SUCKS!
The fact is that every one of these suggestions is being taken into account by all the "desktop" programs.
IT TAKES TIME. Just because this guys says something, doesn't mean its going to happen overnight.
All these ideas are being implemented,and will be perfected one day. Don't rush volunteers.
