The answer if really simple....
NO ONE BESIDES PEOPLE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN IT
GIVE A DAMN ABOUT LINUX!!!! Get upset all you
want, flame all you want....but it is the truth.
Be honest, what average user wants to deal with
Linux when everything they get exactly what they
want, they way they want it with Windows.
"But it is more stable!!! Blue screen of death!!!"
Windows XP and Windows 2000 are very stable. I
am not even going to get into the rest of the objective dreck Linux zealots spew about the supposed superiority of using Linux over Windows: "It comes with a compiler!", "You can customize your on desktop, nevermind it takes a thousand years for X to do what you want it to do.." yes, yes, I know, I dont know what I am talking about....I am spreading FUD, I am a M$ shill, never mind the fact that I have been running Linux for damn near a year now.....
Face it, Linux is not ready for the home market...
besides that nobody cares because Windows does what it is supposed to,and much faster and better. So why switch to an OS they know nothing about cause some geek told them so?
Lord....i will not even dignify your little homophobic rant...but you have a point about the Linux development community. What you have to understand(and hopefully linux zelots also) is that linux developers , except for about 9 individuals who dedicate themselves to kernel development are for the most part, amatuer programmers who more often than not are not being paid to write this code..and on the other hand, open source developers will not release their code until they are confident that it is the best they can come up with(not necessarily the best code written for that specific case).

If you had to ask, then you already know the answer. In case you do not, F*$K NO!
