I’m sorry, I can’t get past Linux’s font rendering. It’s like they said “OS X renders fonts too thick! Let’s do the exact opposite!”

So let's see, the exciting technologies are saving the 30 seconds it takes to reboot (though in fairness, it does take Linux a LOT longer to boot up than Windows), enabling USB 3.0 devices (that Windows can already use), and running mobile programs on a desktop (noting Windows can already run Windows Mobile apps)?
I guess that makes it a real exciting time to be a Windows user, with Windows 7 on the horizon.
By the way, I run my web business off of 4 CentOS rack-mount Dells and an IBM Blade. But I am done wasting my time with Linux on the desktop.

ubuntu was the first decent desktop OS for linux, but it still has major issues. However, they are definitely going in the right direction. I suspect in another 10 years they will be able to start to compete on the desktop. But by then...will the desktop even be where the action is?

LOL. Linux makes for a great emergency disk, but all this excitement for an OS with 3% market share is pathetic.

How about usable application installation? I’ve tried installing assorted stuff off the Linux equivalent of AppStore, only to have absolutely no indication of where the application ended up or how to start it.
I keep wanting to switch to Linux, and keep getting pushed back by stupid flaws which render it unusable for any but outright geeks.
