If linux on the desktop is ready to be marketed you'd think that family and friends of these linux advocates would be using it too.

Lack of consistency is anathema to marketing and sales. Canonical made a run at getting a marketable distro out there but hasn't really cracked that nut yet and it doesn't appear that they will. But there are some rumors being reported here and there that Microsoft is going to get involved with Canonical to some level, possibly just some funding. If that is true, it will be interesting to see what the 'advocates' have to say about that. -- Lloyd
