Why do it? I am asked this question more often than I expected, even by existing Linux users who I expected to know as well as I the reasons for building a next-generation desktop Linux for the home user. So here are some of my reasons for thinking that we must spend the effort to create a better desktop on Linux than any existing version now has.

Great article, it really shows why linux has not succeeded on the desktop, and it made me realize how it is a 100 miles from doing it aswell. Technical superiority is not enough, and when you see how much of what is needed to succeed, that has been acomplished in the last two year(almost nothing!) it makes me loose hope in linux.....
