That seems to be all you have (opinions). And if you're on our side, 
then where are your solution suggestions? We're all aware of this 
issue. We don't need you harping on it.

This could be the worst analogy in history; how is Leo's choice of 
vehicle in any way germane to the point you're trying to make? And if 
you're not willing to sacrifice until we get desktop Linux as good or 
better than Windows, then what the hell are you doing on this list? I'm 
still waiting for the Gibson-esque cyberspace environment; does that 
mean I should stop using computers or complain incessantly until it 
arrives?

P.S. By the way, exactly what are you doing to improve the state of 
desktop Linux? And before you answer, I'm not currently working on any 
desktop-related software for Linux, either, but desktop Linux suits my 
needs just fine.
