Yabbut; from a 'conventional' user's perspective, the GUI is the *face 
of* the OS, so the 'face' matters, just like a lot of people feel/act 
about the face of a person.

So, the 'parts' are the face, how apt/able is it (to do the things I 
want to do) and how 'secure' is it (to not do things I don't want it to 
do), etc.

Linux is strong in a lot of those areas, but from a desktop perspective, 
not strong enough to swing a lot of 'voters' to use it there.  Over the 
years/decades linux has evolved a LONG way on its face.

A lot of linux users are not that 'conventional' /populace/ but may be 
developers, supercomputer needers, server needers, mobile users, etc.

So, some areas linux wins hands down, other areas not so much.  The face 
is just one little part of the big picture.  From dedo/Igor's 
perspective, he is kinda crazy/demanding for the face; always has been.
