"The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

Xavier, in my times of using Linux, I find it in one way or another have better quality than Windows. If you just install Mandrake or Red Hat, you would think it is a piece of junk. The reason? They use bleeding egde software that isn't tried and true, together with other bleeding edge software. Thus creating a less quality feel. But some distributions, specifically Lycoris and Xandros, keep up a very high standard of quality that might one day surpass Microsoft. My hacked-up Mandrake 9.0 box with almost everything custom behaves better than Windows XP. However, Mdk 9.0 out of the box is full of problems.
