Linuxwatch.com is running a great story called "Five Reasons NOT To Use Linux." It includes a nice list of reasons why one might want to steer clear of Linux, along with a nice comparison to how easily these reasons are addressed in Microsoft Windows.

I don't like it either. It is shallow, and didn't make me smile a bit.
Almost every time I use KDE I get to see the crashmonitor when I really try to use it. I hate the default way gnome browses my filesystem (and for the rest I just can't get to feel at home in gnome). The only windowmanager I like is windowmaker, but I feel just as productive using windows.
All in all the article had a slashdotesque quality and left me wondering if the author has really tried to use his PC. I could write a whole story why it would be far better to choose windows over linux with better arguments. Of course, linux has it's advantages in some terrains, but I don't see it become a dominant player on the desktop, because it just doesn't get there. Ever.
