I had a problem when contracting that the client didn't want to pay me to fix bugs. I told him he could either pay me to test it for 8 hrs, or he could pay me for 15 minutes here and there to fix tiny bugs.

And this is why linux will never be a contender for the consumer desktop. 1) It has no native UI. 2) The Linux community is always fighting amongst themselves. 3) Linux gurus don't understand that not every power user wants to do stuff via the command line or obscure config files. 4) It's segmented. I don't want to have to research and try ten million different distros before I figure out which one would be best for me. I really would like something better than windows, I just haven't found it yet.
