And your job is to promote linux over Microsoft. Since you people make money in services, and the OS is not complete when given away, someone will have to hire you to finish the job. Retail desktop cannot afford you so that is another reason it is not on Joe Sixpack's computer. Very sneaky of you guys. You guys are just as clever as MS when you want to make money.
