Linux I've only been using GNU/Linux since 2001, so I won't say that I'm by any means an expert yet, as most of those that are reading this, probably have been using Linux much longer than I have. However, I still have high hopes for the Linux scene. The purpose of this article is to voice my personal opinion on what I feel is keeping GNU/Linux from taking over the mainstream operating system market. My intentions aren't to "badtalk" the open source kernel+apps, but rather give constructive criticsm on what I personally feel it could be done better.

A bad point of view...

What most people is missing is that Windows is compared to Linux only one Distribution (don't tell me XP and 9X are different, I mean for "desktops users"), in Linux you've a lot of Distributions with their own configuration, so you can't think of Linux targeting the desktop market, but instead of X Distribution targeting desktop market (like Ubuntu or Linspire).
