Well, you are going to have even bigger issues with the next big release of
KDE. Supposedly, they are going to allow you to run KDE as a desktop on
Windows. Personally, I look forward to any project that Linux has, and using
it on Windows. I just want better software, and I think Open Source is light
years ahead of the competition.
The roadmaps are clearly defined, there are no warlords controlling the
projects, and the community allows the developers feedback to make the program
more rock solid. Over the last few years, we have seen some major changes in
the way that Microsoft and others are now deploying software. From Betas (even
alphas), to giving away new software, the open source model is slowly coming
into play. Finally, when all is in place, the Linux desktop will follow.
The only thing holding back the desktop in my opinion, is the way devices are
handled. Linux needs to settle on udev, proc, or whatever, and make it work
correctly. To this day, I can plug in my Canon 20D, and it knows what it is,
but I plug in my SanDisk Cruzer Mini, and... Nothing.

Open Source is about breaking free of proprietary systems. Where the source
is available to all. The Linux version runs better than the Windows version.
Linux is about Open Source, its about giving choice. With Windows you have no
choice, ypu are limited on what can be achieved. look at all the problems
Windows users are reporting Scribus for Linux never has those problems.
I have seen more and more people go to Open Source on Windows and not
touching Linux because the extremely good software we doi have on Linux has a
Windows port and it takes away incentive to use a Linux distribution. Linux is
ready for the desktop but why use Linux when I can have the same exact software
on Windows? Thats the mindset. If you guys keep doing this port and Novell
does their port of Evolution all its doing is holding Linux adoption back.

Nothing. He didn't assert that.
