One thing I do know is that I've been using Linux since October of 2003 and it's totally desktop ready.
And I have been using it since 1996 - and each year people have claimed to be the 'year of the Linux desktop' - so for 10 years I've been hearing the same promises, the same 'year of the desktop' with nothing delivered.
Talk is cheap, its about time the Linux fanboys like Novell, Red Hat, IBM and the likes actually started to deliver this 'Linux on the desktop' in terms of QUALITY hardware support and QUALITY third party commercial software from the Adobes, Corels, Lotus's, Peachtree's and Quickens of the world.
