That's interesting. And, of course, the linux desktop environment (other than android) has not had the best story in the last twenty years, so maybe you do have to come at it desktop first. I really like my CLI though, and really really want to be able to change anything about my system from vi if need be, so I guess I fall on the other side of that perspective.

Meh, i think the problem of Linux DEs is not the DEs themselves but having to face of against Microsoft where they are strongest. Android got in the door by Google convincing the OEMs to switch Window Mobile for Android, with Google carrying the brunt of the development cost for free. This happened just as MS was running around in a panic and managed to split their mobile platform in two with Phone 7. In contrast MS bent over backwards regarding netbooks. They had started shipping Vista, and yet they gave XP another reprieve on execution when Asus started shipping their Linux powered EEEPCs. Only with major cockups regarding Windows powered warships, and having a former general as chairman of the board, has Red Hat been able to get on the DoDs good side.
