I am not talking about the merits of one os or program over another. look
at it this way you go in a store to by the latest and greatest product.
The salesperson tells you all about [good an bad]. You say ok I'll take
it. Then the tech people who made it come over and say it is not ready
for use. Do you still by it? Remember the salesperson told you the bad
points, but here the people who made it are saying it not ready!!! That is
why I keep saying "STOP SAYING GNU/LINUX IS NOT READY FOR THE DESKTOP" by
all means tell them the pros and cons but let them decided if they can use
the product.
