Why can't anyone on /. criticize linux without being considered a troll. I use linux. It had incredible potential. However as long as it was used as a tool of geeks coding strictly for the good of humanity. Linux went nowhere before the late 90's when people like redhat realized they could make money off of it, and then it started to take off in server circles. As long as the goal is galactic domination, linux will not make it on the desktop.
