hahahah hehehe. whay are they wasting their time?
surely the ONLY reason isnt as popular as it could be is because it isnt advertized by a huge company. the common man will buy what he is told to buy on the tele box!

i'm sure you didn't read the whole thread. linux is the living proof that you don't need a big company to promote it in order for it to be popular.

OK - time for dead thread resurrection.

Now is the time of the Linux desktop! And Ubuntu RULEZ!

Recently, Stormy Eyes started a thread about being tired of the "if only Linux had X feature or killer app, then there'd be a mass migration" threads

I, too, am getting tired. You'll often hear tired old forum members like Stormy and me complaining that arguments about Linux desktop marketshare, desktop readiness, desktop migration, etc. have taken place thousands of times. Well, it may not number into the thousands yet, but it has happened a lot. Here are some threads you might want to read if you don't believe me.

Some threads started out innocently and got hijacked by argumentative individuals. Others were clearly flamebait from the first post. Next time I see one of these threads, I'll post a link to this thread (the one you're reading) and then add it to my list.
