I disagree, My wife loves it. Linspire that is. Looks like Win2k, acts
like Win2k, but much faster & stable.

Amen to that. Linux has a long road ahead before becoming a viable desktop.
As a desktop, windows works out of the box, Linux doesn't.
The technically savvy user can make it work, but the average user can't, and should not have to.
My std argument: try opening WMV, MPEG and quicktime in your
email on linux (I'm using evolution). It's easy to setup, once you find
out
how. The problem is twofold: it is not easy to discover how to set it
up, and you should not have to.
