"My wife knows NOTHING about computers or how to use them. She runs Netscape and the WPs without any trouble. When my wife can do that then the desktop is ready. She don't have to worry about crashing or rebooting. It just doesn't happen. If Netscape crashes, she clears it with ktop and deletes the lock file and fires it again. THe kernel doesn't crash. KDE doesn't crash. They were made for her. Finally, the price is right. And, it will be that right price that switches the market around to Linux. People are tired of paying ever-rising licensing fees to get buggier software and jacking Gates networth to higher billions." Yes, that is exactly why it is ready for the desktop. My wife uses Netscape, WordPerfect, and Kmail (probably will replace Kmail with something else). No crashes since we stopped booting into NT so she is happier than before. There may be a few apps that are still not quite ready on Linux, such as Gnucash, but damn, there are excellent games now with more coming, there are several WPs with decent compatability with Word, and for a CEO to say the things he did is just selling the product short.
