Even more important, they made this change because they took the time to understand why the problem happened in the first place – owning hardware designed for a proprietary operating system.

This sorta feels like being told by Obama we voted against his agenda because we're too stupid to grasp it. I agree that hardware manufacturers should be more open to Linux users, but that's the way it is for now. My OS works for me, not the other way around.

User one is happy to use Linux on the desktop until the day arrives when something suddenly stops working as expected after an update. Frustrated, they give up and fall back to their proprietary desktop.

If my linux distribution stops working, I would switch to another distribution (hear that, ubuntu?), not to ms windows (pretty sure that's the "proprietary desktop" they're talking about). That's because windows costs too much, pure and simple.
