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.

Who cares?
I couldn't care less if Joe User is using Linux. Let them continue to use Windows if they want to, what difference does it make to you and me?
More Linux appreciation would be nice. (Like Tech Support people supporting Linux and not just hanging up on you when you tell them you're not running Windows.)
I've used Linux 99% of the time for the past 6 months. I love my Linux system and wouldn't trade it in for anything - this doesn't mean that everyone should use it if it means dumbing down the interfaces, having one standard desktop, etc etc.
If you don't like Linux, don't bitch and wine, just use Windows and get on with it.
