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.

Well, let me put up one of my own idiotic comments again:
I've got 2 words, and these 2 words can make 'Linux' succeed:
- Approximations
- Egos
The former should be embraced, the latter should be dropped.
It's simple as that.
(and yeah I know that's hard, very hard, but in the end it's good for all of us)
