So why exactly does Linux not deserve a desktop? At least you get CHOICE with Linux as to which desktop you prefer (Gnome, KDE, etc) - that's something you really don't have in Windows. In fact, you really don't have much control of your computer when Windows is running - just try to disable/uninstall IE and you'll see what I mean.

There are a couple of good reasons I can think of for people to migrate to Linux...

1. Choice - Install what YOU want, don't install what you don't need - control is given back to the USER.
2. Reliability - Anyone in the know will agree with me on this one.
3. Cost savings - After all, do you see a $500 price tag on a Linux distro? (most of them are completely free!)
4. Open source - Open source = more developers = more brains working on the same software = higher quality software!
You also have the option of customizing it to suit your needs.
5. Palladium/DRM - For those that don't know what Palladium is, it's M$'s implementation of DRM (Digital Rights Management) which will come in the form of a new version of Windows. I really can't explain how bad this will be for consumers in just one post - do a google search for it ... very bad stuff!

Once again, no offense to Windows users - I agree that it is still the easiest to use platform out there and many software packages are designed solely for Windows environments but I think Linux is a viable alternative and will be looking better and better as MS implements Palladium in their next version of Windows.

BTW, Wine is technically a "compatability layer" for win32 apps - it is not a true emulator like VMWare. For gaming, there's WineX (which implements DirectX compatibility for Linux)

Linux should stay prompt only for the reason that it is NOT supposed to be simple to use. If you want to cater to people who dont want to take the time to learn computers then feed them windows. let them not be able to control everything they want to with the computer, since they didnt take the time to learn computers why make it easier for them to screw it up? at least win xp is almost retard proof. another reason is that these graphical environments compromise security. i remember busting into my highschools linux server by simply overloading xconfig. those idiots let me fool around with superuser privilages for a while (didnt check their logs i guess cause i was young and left plenty of tracks...) so i got pissed off and downed that network.

i know linux. i started learning it when i downloaded slackware 4.0 on my old pentium 90. (btw slackware ownz joo). and no i didnt bother with the Xwindows environment.

edit: i put "emulator" in quotes because Wine Is Not an Emulator.

Holy shlt, I just read about it, this country will go to hell if Palladium is implemented......i hate microsoft even more now, i can only hope that Apple does not implement such a thing.
