First, that's a lot of up-votes (+25) for a completely subjective, "personal experience" response (call that my critique to the community). As for your comment itself, you've been using Linux since 1999, of course the current state of affairs is going to seem fantastic to you. In 1999 installing linux was a big console-based adventure full of unknowns and question marks... things today are obviously much, much simpler. Point being, your perspective on "Linux for the Consumer Desktop" is highly skewed. I mean, if asked a year ago, or two years ago, would you have said much differently?

> In 1999 installing linux was a big console-based adventure full of unknowns and question marks... things today are obviously much, much simpler Except it wasn't with distros like Mandrake (now mandriva), no matter how much linux haters like to repeat that lie, Linux has been easy to install for the last 10 years. Now try to install OSX on anything else than a Mac, you'll have fun. If you don't want to have installation issues, get a pre-installed machine.
