“Many people believe computers are tools. They don’t care how it works, they don’t want to modify the kernal, drivers, system files or anything else. They just want to use it. Ya know what, thats ok.”

Sure,but weighing up the end-benefit in terms of education of users,I pick Linux users.

As for the desktop debate,it depends totally on your hardware,choice of Linux distribution,and also some preparatory homework,but with those caveats aside,you can find many better desktops available off the virtual shelf than windows.

There`s nothing inherent in the windows desktop that can`t be surpassed by a Linux one.

Sure, all it takes is money, development, testing, marketing, and people willing to spend their hard earned money on an un-proven product.

Until then its all vaporware.
