    The plethora of Free Software applications available today, none working perfectly, is a problem which stands in the way of major adoption of Linux on the desktop.

    The plethora of Microsoft applications available today, none working perfectly, is NOT a problem which stands in the way of the stranglehold Bill and Steve maintain over the desktop.

    I agree.

    To all you nay-sayers out there: I want you to name one application out there that does not have a full-featured alternative in Linux.

    Photoshop (which I call "Photo$shop") has the GIMP.
    Microsoft Office (which I call "Michro$soft Offi$ce") has OpenOffice.
    Adobe Premiere (which I call "A$dobe Pre$miere") has Film GIMP or whatever it's called.
