    I mainly agree with the points outlined, but not everything is perfect, and Linux still has some catch-up to do in some areas.


    Oh yeah, tell me about it. Have you ever tried to find a Ukrainian pr0n dialer for Linux? Or a good pop-up injector? How about a program that reports web usage to advertisers? It's almost impossible! I will admit, Linux does have some good key-loggers, but what good are key-loggers without a browser exploit to install them?

    I'm sorry, but until the OSS community steps forward to fill these holes, Linux will never be ready for the desktop.

    I managed to read that as "Cooking with Linus"

    That would have made a great article.

    You will need:

    500 g of prime, lean penguin meat
    2 kg of Finnish Human soaked in Swedish wine
    1 tablespoon of Stallman stock

    Instructions

    1. Combine the ingredients in a rough manner but ensure that they bind well
    2. Simmer slowly over 10 years or so on a low heat
    3. Add some more Stallman stock and bring to the boil
    4. Quickly place the lid on to avoid boilover, or alternatively add 2 litres of Redmond FUD to cool things off
    5. Add 1 kg of the secret ingredient (rock cocaine) to keep the diners happy
    6. Present on several plates of various types and don't forget to add the open sauce!
    7. Enjoy and remeber to play with the food

    Serves Millions.

    "Windows is good for more than viruses and freeze-ups."

    True, but it is the market leader in those areas.
