Microsoft "Red Flag Linux has turned out to be little more than a key bargaining chip in a high stakes game of commerce between the Chinese government and the world's largest software maker. Thanks to some major concessions on source code and a precipitous price drop, the Chinese government has now thoroughly embraced Windows and Office. And thanks to a major about-face in the way that it deals with piracy, Microsoft has also won over the Chinese people."

"Linux still isn't ready for general unadministered use by the public"

Right , because only defense contractor , high level server administrator , engineer and doctorate programmer , use it , they are the only one who can use it if one listen to your nonsense.

Dell , HP , Acer , ETC ... would not ship it in desktop offer if it was not ready.
