>>> Linux will always be a platform for geeks. People used to say that about DOS.<<
Completely different era and hardly a decent comparison when we have so many options today and the OS has become ubiquitous. No OS manufacturer wanting their product to be adopted by the masses should make it difficult to install. It should be forehead install out of the box, 60 minutes or less for me to be up surfing the Web from raw metal. Even DOS was that easy to install. Maybe you are you saying in just 10 years we will be looking back on 2008 and laughing how some people struggled to install some Linux distros and battled the blue screens of death? (yes, tongue firmly planted in cheek) We are talking 20 years of progress since DOS was mainstream. The OS should not be hard to work with or install period. We literally should be talking to the computer and having it work for us instead of humans being slaves to the computer. This is what Microsoft should have been showing off in this sting. True innovation. All OS manufacturers have failed to realize the Star Trek visionaries. Sheep herders should be listening and prepared to make billions.
