When RedHat states that "Linux is not ready for the desktop" what they should be saying is "RedHat is not ready for the desktop". RedHat is fine as a server, but the fact remains that RedHat can't build a desktop; however, as RedHat places the dagger in the backs of those building great Linux desktops they turn around and give us such insightful reading material as this.
"To me Linux advocates bashing Linux advocates does Microsoft's work for them. It plays into the FUD that we are an angry mob."
From where I sit it looks like the shoe is on the other foot. If RedHat's brass truly believe this, then perhaps they should rethink all of their statements about desktop Linux.
"Not really. Not yet, anyway. I tend to look outside the community for the enemy and we've got bigger, imminent threats right now. So do they, for that matter and everyone else too busy kicking our shins to notice."
No!, RedHat the linux community is not kicking your shins and no one is nipping at your heels either. You suck as a desktop. Just admit that you don't know how to build one instead of kicking the shins of those that have succeeded in building great Linux desktops.
