I'm impressed! A very professional piece.
Linux is already a "commonplace secondary OS" however I'm sure some of its appeal to many is the fact that it is different and is not a main stream product.
Does one not feel a little sense of superiority when talking to MS users because one knows that they are using an OS that is not that user friendly and take some skill to master out of the box. I know I do and to be honest I'm not that proud of the fact that I do but it's human nature.
The appeal to me is that it is different and not the same the majority, I'm sure most Mac users have similar thoughts.
I for one hope it does become a real contender on the worlds desktop, it certainly deserves to but if that does happen I expect there will be another *different* OS waiting in the wings to learn, use and feel 'smug' :-) about.
Cheers
BJ
