Linux "So how's that look-like-Windows thing working for the Linux community? Is the wave of desktop adoption far ahead of where it was in 2001 and 2002 when this started? And, if not, why don't we stop doing it? Is it because we're stuck on stupid?"

I cannot understant why he says Linux has stalled, these writers seem to think Linux will take market share in a flash. Do they understand that loads of people who have windows and have brought a computer, try linux and use it?

I get people just about everyday coming to our forums and saying they want to try or switch to Linux. The uptake of Linux has been huge but because these articals cannot put it into numbers/share then they assume no one is switching. what benefit is it to Linux to get market share percentage?, just people like SuSE will profit, not the community.
