That's why I keep advocating for the code behind GNU/Linux to actually be completely free. If everyone was aware that the code was available to them and that it's been developed mostly by regular people, it would truly appear as a "for the people, by the people" alternative to Windows. In their attempt to be a "better" commercial product than Windows and OS X, GNU/Linux simply alienates anyone who associates "commercial product" with clean and efficient design. If, however, it is presented as an alternative product which contains absolutely no commercial code because it is, instead, a "homegrown product," the many bizarre design choices, lack of features and stability problems would be a lot easier to overlook. Consider fruits and vegetables as an example. In a supermarket, people expect for the food that they buy to only spotless and perfect. However, when they buy from farmers, they understand the possibility that certain foods might be misshapen or have odd colours. Windows and OS X, in this case, would be the fruits and vegetables which APPEAR to be perfect but happen to be filled with pesticides, herbicides in addition to being GMO. GNU/Linux would be the organic product... it doesn't always look right but happens to be healthier. -- Silver Slimer Wikipedia & OpenMedia Supporter 163 Reasons not to deal with Michael "Snit" Glasser, the Prescott Computer Guy http://cosmicpenguin.com/snitlist.html
