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.

Do you really think that there is a battle between OSS and the commercial OS world? Nope, people in the OSS comunitty are doing it for fun, not for somthing else. Some of the code makes it in commercial apps, some of the code makes it somewhere else, some of the developers get better jobs or build up an impressive curiculum/reputation.
I agree, I don't like to have windows pushed down my troat when I buy a Dell or some other brand name PC, but that's beside the point.
