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.

My point exactly, we already have all the core stuff (kernel) but the energy is wasted around the gui, app installation etc. Remember we are mainly talking about linux on the desktop.
Are you saying that only money can create a single vision for say the gui or simple installation? I think you are right.
If there is money there are deadlines, there is no time for having 3 solution and picking the best, when money runs out project is dead. Quite a motivator to get it right.
