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.

Funny, you think giving money to a company that's a member of the National Foreign Trade Council isn't a political act? It's as political as giving money to someone who's collecting for a political party; the only difference is that the political party is likely to use it in less destructive ways. As I said, just because no one recognizes it doesn't make it false. Spend your money where and how you like; but applying the word "moron" to people who are intellectually honest enough to recognize what their own choices mean for the world they live in, much less to an author who's obviously going to read your comments, isn't exactly a demonstration of superior wit.
