UNIX runs your internet and the majority of all your websites, and there's no reason it can't be used to run your home computer as well. In short, it is definitely not being used by just a few extremists. Besides, I fix more problems with windows than I ever run into with UNIX based architectures. Obviously, you don't know the facts well enough to call it a crappy version of the wheel. Couldn’t disagree with you more Echostorm!

People have predicted it would for years now and it is repeatedly proven that the masses prefer Windows for ease of use, support and range of applications. Ubuntu was just one more of a doomed line of Linux flavors wasting the time of talented developers who could have been doing something worthwhile with their talents than reinventing a crappy version of the wheel that will never be used by more than a few extremeists.

I saw about 10 of these just sitting on a shelf in the back of the electronics department at my local Wal-Mart - they were not marked, not priced, and not looked at by anyone but me - it was sad.

Needless to say I didn't even see any on the shelves.
