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.

Windows isn't ready for most users's desktop if you ask them. Most users just live with it and since they don't care about this kind of things, they won't change either.
Do I care ? No. I like linux for everything it is ! Varied but always the same, improving in every aspect very fast, rough on the edges or polished to death (debian or xandros), ultra sophisticated, and keeping things simple.
What I like in perticular is that what I learn, I learn it for all linuxes an also unix.
