Matthew Szulik, chief executive of Linux vendor Red Hat, said on Monday that although Linux is capable of exceeding expectations for corporate users, home users should stick with Windows: "I would say that for the consumer market place, Windows probably continues to be the right product line," he said. "I would argue that from the device-driver standpoint and perhaps some of the other traditional functionality, for that classic consumer purchaser, it is my view that (Linux) technology needs to mature a little bit more."

Albert Einstein once said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Desktop Linux is insane. It's not working, nor will it ever work if the Linux community stays insane. Stop being so elitist, stop telling people to RTFM when they don't know how to do this or that. But most of all, stop thinking your way is better than that guy's way, and instead collaborate and create ONE product to fight the Microsoft behemoth. You've already shown that on the server side Linux is clearly superior than Windows, but damn, how many window managers does the world need? Until then, you're a bunch of chickens running around with your heads cut off, talented and gifted yes, but with no single driving force.
