But isn't this a good thing?
Whether they succeed and advance the state of Linux on the desktop or they fail and other distributions, focusing on other things, retake their current lead because of those 'other things', the Linux desktop will benefit.
Regarding "Conservatism is good for some issues, but not all. Liberalism is good for some issues, but not all.".
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism) :
"Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights. It seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power (especially of government and religion), the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of all citizens are protected.[2] In modern society, liberals favor a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed."
Just because some Americans use the word "liberal" as an insult doesn't mean that it is one. Liberalism is good for all issues, I'd say. Now, whether the Democratic party is truly liberal is another matter entirely...
You might be using the word "liberal" in the American sense, but the post you're replying to isn't, so my point stands.
The article fails to mention why did they choose to build a Croatian-to-English translator first. Croatian is a complicated language... Imho a lot more complicated than English. Trust me, I live in Zagreb. When I see a foreigner on TV that knows Croatian, I think to myself, 'Wow...'. And they never know it perfectly. I don't mean the pronounciation, but the grammar.
Not that I'm complaining (hey, it's free publicity for Croatia, visit for your holidays:p), but wouldn't a language like German be more suitable for the first prototypes? I know a bit of German too, it seems closer to English than Croatian to me.

Honestly, I'd have switched to Linux 10 years before I did if the games had been there.

I mean, wtf? Are they bundling KDE with it?
