Resorting to saying the author of the article is clueless and can't read
instructions is plain childish and shows why Linux is not making inroads
into the Desktop market and is unlikely to do so in the near/medium
future.

Linux continues to be a server OS and an OS for techies in the Unix
field. (And before the semantic mafia starts complaining and nitpicking,
I mean Linux in the distribution sense.)

We'd only be kidding ourselves if we honestly thought the Desktop Linux
offerings today were good enough. Bloated, inconsistent, non-intuitive
desktop environments is what people want to get away from, they also
want functionality without insane feature creep.

Desktop Linux still have a very long way to go...
