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.

BECAUSE, M$'s business model is not in the public's best interest. It is planned to stifle creativity, openness, and competiveness. It attempts to force us to buy low quality software at high prices and if you don't like it, find another planet bucko! It is designed to feed one man's megalomania. If that guy has his way linux users will become criminals, and I don't want things to be like that.
As a result I am out there helping people make the switch whenever I can. If you hold their hand at the start I find they can embrace linux. I've gotten middle aged business men, mothers and kids to convert over.
