Look, I posted a funny picture, and I don't apologize for it.
That said, what you just posted thrills me. We do finally have a class of
desktop distributions (SuSE is on about the same level, and possibly a couple
others) that the general computing public can choose and use. Linux still
lags when it comes to hardware support and games, but that's about it as far
as I'm concerned. I've migrated a few folks over to Linux and they're happy
as clams, and can basically administrate their own computers, once I showed
them around a bit.
Windows, Mac and Linux... all valid choices now that Linux has essentially
cleared the desktop hurdles it once had.
