Open source - don't you love it? Imagine what would happen if open source sware could be suddenly transformed to "mainstream."
Sales dork: Hi. Want to buy some software?
Customer: Sure. I need email, word processing, and spreadsheets.
Sales dork: Great. Let me rattle off the really lame names of the distros (understatement.)
Customer: Those names are really stupid, and what are distros?
Sales dork: You have to pick from a variety of "same but different" operating systems called distros.
Customer: Why don't I just get Windows?
Sales dork: You don't want Windows. Windows desktop market share is only 90%.
Customer: So it's a standard.
Sales dork: Yeah, but you want to be challenged - especially by a lame-sounding OS.
Customer: I just want to write emails and letters and be able to add up numbers.
Sales dork: You should spent the better part of your life figuring out *nix.
Customer: Why?
Sales dork: If you don't, you'll be stupid.
Customer: I make three million dollars a year. I just want to write letters.
Sales dork: You're stupid.
Customer: You make $10/hour.
Sales dork: But I can compile kernels!
Customer: You're an idiot.
Sales dork: But I can compile kernels!
Customer: You are an uneducated, smelly, fat wanna-be.
Sales dork: But I can compile kernels!
Customer: I'm going somewhere else now.
Sales dork: But I can compile kernels!
Customer: Uh...yeah. Enjoy your mom's basement.
Sales dork: Standards suck! More distros! Down with Windows! I can compile kernels!
Customer: Bye.
Sales dork: Hey! What's so bad about Mom's basement?! It's been good for 32 years!
THAT is why Linux is doomed. Ironically, the very people so in love with *nux will bury it.
I'm a capitalist, BTW. When *nux is on 90% of desktops, I'll become an avid fan. Wait, that will never happen - too many distros and division. Hrm...well, should one ever become as easy to use as Windows, I'm sure I'll hear about it and care. Until then, keep stinking.
One question - why don't any of the *nux security flaws get widespread attention? Oh...'cause no one gives a damn, that's why. I guess if more people used it (or could), it would be different.
