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.

You complained about the fonts. Fair enough, linux in its old days had font issues. Not anymore, Bitstream fonts look great, and MS fonts are copyable into a linux system. I am using Mozilla 1.4 on this laptop running Suse 8.2. Looks good from here.
All my linux machines have nice fonts. I run lets see: 6 linux boxes. My company uses linux on the Desktop exclusivly. SO does my home computer. My wife prefers linux over windows. So whats the problem?
