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.

Any time you make a choice about your money it is a political decision. You're choosing who's pockets to line, who to make rich, which company to support. Any time you make a choice about what technology to use -- in almost all technological arenas, not just computing -- you are making a political choice. You're choosing to put more pollutants into the air rather than less, or to consume a resource rather than use a renewable one, or to support a system that's heading for DRM and more spyware. The fact that no one recognizes this doesn't make it false; on the contrary, it's why the world is in many ways quite horrible, and going downhill fast.
