Can anybody contradict this statement?
(I tend to agree it is true, including the other home user OSes)

True. I have yet to meet a distro that....
 * Watches TV.
 * Watches the News religiously.
 * Collects coupons.
 * Phones offspring to remind them to do ostensibly important but
   usually irrelevant things.
 * Occupies ones back room for a month or three.
 * Recycles the wrong things.
 * Listens to long telephonic laments of the aforementioned offspring.
 * Cleans the counter by packing the sink so full you can't do
   anything with it.
 * Both soothes and/or winds up wifey.
 * Sends you undies for Christmas.
 * With best of intentions rub up grandkids all the wrong way.
 * Spreads  / acts as central news agency for family Bad News.
 * Reports in detail the state of health of all the family, except her own.

I'm not sure I could write a crontab to do all this

Ps. Waah! I want my Mommy!
