Lately, there has been a "Why linux isn't ready for the desktop" article every 3 days. Most of the time, these articles originate from a lack of understanding or acceptance of the open source system. I'd like to try to address some of the common arguments against linux here, and try to help people understand why linux probably won't be on your desktop for a while.

"Why would you want to 'convert' people?"
The more people we can get to use linux, the more commerical software(apps,games,DRIVERS!!!,etc) we can expect.
Ive gotton a couple of my friends(4) to switch compeletly over to linux and another 7 or so to atleast dualboot or play around with a liveCD. Every person that switches get us closer to better recongizition from the computer industry.
