Linux is great for single function servers but as a desktop solution is still badly lacking.
As an IT professional my love/hate relationship with Microsoft often bubbles over and I and my IT buddies try to replace it with a Linux solution.
I really like Linux and run Ubuntu on a PC at the house. It is NO WHERE NEAR READY for mainstream useage.
Too many things require ActiveX to work, and that is all Microsoft.
I agree completely. I do run linux servers at the office, but there is not a linux distro that is complete enough yet for the average everyday user who has no critical thinking skills. To my dismay, there are daily occasions when i have to use WINE, or worse yet, boot Windows.
