Problem!

[Billy Pollifrone]

Exactly. If we are looking to make Linux the dominant operating system, we
are going to have to have a little bit of patience and understanding. If you
think that pushing a certain way on someone who hasn't had the experience
you have, you won't make them more likely to make the jump. They'll think
that the community is the last thing they want to be a part of. If we don't
see that, then we are cursed with a tragic, myopic situation.
