Thank you so much for writing this. It gives voice to several vague thoughts I've had about just how annoying this swelling blogebrity Ubuntu love-fest really is. Right on!

I agree wholeheartedly!

The only application that I found Linux to be great for is a secure and stable personal internet server. But that advantage is being obviated by network-attached storage (NAS) devices and free online places that host websites for you. In fact, many NAS devices run an embedded Linux, which is also a great Linux solution.

There are critical things happening in the world and on the Internet today. Your average person wants fast Internet access on a working multimedia computer. Nobody has time or patience to mess around with drivers and hardware anymore like they did in the last decade.

Thank you for saying that. Everyone was jumping on the Ubuntu bandwagon but I don't see how it provided solutions to their original problems. Linux is great. Over the years I've run several flavors of Linux with varying degrees of success. Every time I ran it I eventually gave up because I spent more time trying to configure the OS properly than I did getting any work done, thus I'm back to Windows and OS X.
