Seems every one of these “when will Linux be ready for the desktop?” assumes that “we” want market share. I want something that works the way I want it to. I don’t care if it doesn’t work the way windows users are used to.
The only reason I'd like to see Linux market share increase, is that it would make the internet a lot better place, with less spam-bots and zombies out there trying to either fill up your email box, or attack your network, so it can spread. Otherwise, like you, I don't really give a damn what other people use, or the number who use Linux. I try to move people away from the evil empire when I can, but if they don't want to, they get no sympathy or support from me for their choices.
