To a certain extent
He is correct and his statements do hold value. I believe most of the tech-minded people have tried Linux recently and I have to say it has improved in alot of areas. But I think most normal desktop users won't even touch it because of the complexity. I also agree that it is an OS for a hobbiest and a tinker... not someone in a productive environment like a normal corporate office.

Calling people a mindless moron because they posted their opinion only shows your own principles. Especially when the facts are real and you are a mindless moron that won't accept it. Perhaps someday Linux (or something similar) will invade the marketplace in OS, but for now... we'll stay tuned if things improve.

Lastly, I do not hate Linux and I am no M$ lover, but in reality (if you know how to deal with that) the only true productive OS happens to be winders... there isn't a productive product on the market I don't fear buying and using if my OS is winders... however, Linux can't even get its act together with a GUI or a wireless device...

Now go tinker....
