"...Linux is dominating on servers and supercomputers. Linux pretty much mops up every market it's in..."

Is this true? I work in health care, and I don't know of any hospital that runs all Linux... But maybe it is just health care. This isn't a troll post, this seemed like an over the top statement, but it could be my ignorance.

I met Linus in 1991 online. Way smart dude. We ported our code from SCO to one of the first distros back in the day.

Suffice to say Linux has been very very good to me.

When someone comes out with a true normal every desktop version of Linux for the PC, then they will have won the battle, not before.

Finally, Microsoft needs to remember that "users don't like change -- they really don't," Mack concluded. "Users don't want to learn their computers -- it's us geeks who like to try new things. The rest of the world just wants the computer to get work done or entertain them. Microsoft: please take the hint already and stop messing with the interface."

For me this is the money quote from the article. Every time M$ releases a new version of anything they break the user interface. What reason was there to learn a whole new interface between office 2003 and office 2007? NONE. They didn't add any features that couldn't be put into the same menu system. How about between 2007 and 2010? Same deal.

Every time they change versions they cost me about 6 to 9 months of lost productivity trying to figure out how to do what used to be simple to do but which is now nearly impossible. And that's just in getting the screen to look the same way it did before! The only thing M$ could do to regain any of my trust would be to release Halo 3 to the PC. lol
