How Would You Refocus Linux Development?

buddyglass writes "The majority of Slashdot readers are no doubt appreciative of Linux in the general sense, but I suspect we all have some application or aspect of the platform that we wish were more stable, performant, feature-rich, etc. So my question is: if you were able to devote a 'significant' number of resources (read: high-quality developers) to a particular app or area of the kernel, and were able to set the focus for those resources (stability, performance, new features, etc.), what application or kernel area would you attempt to improve, and what would aspect you focus on improving?"

    The whole linux kernel is a stinking shit heap. It just needs to be scrapped and started over from scratch. I mean, it doesn't even support most wireless networking cards for crying out loud. How long has wireless been supported on Windows and Mac OS? Since 2000 or 2001? Linux is currently at about a Windows ME level of development in terms of it being ready for prime time.
