In his own, rather unsympathetic way, Jimmy *does* have a point.
There are a great number of people out there that are looking to make the transition away from MS. The most straightforward solution is Linux, because it doesn't require all new hardware.
GUI's like KDE and Gnome are a good, but just not good enough, yet. Installing a new program more often then not involves some file editing here and there. Which all well and good for people who like computers for their own sake, but doesn't really endear the average user.
Add to that the prevailing '1337' attitude of the hard-nosed linux users (If you don't care how exactly your computer works, you are, basically, a moron) and you can see why many people are still (justified or not) put off by Linux.
Maybe the different distros could take a cue from Lindows.com. I've tried that out and I have to say, I like my old mandrake9.1 better. But Lindows does make an effort to have the user involved in system details as little as possible, if the user doesn't want to.
If the entire Linux user and developer base, could stop gushing over how well Linux works (which it does, don't get me wrong) and stop implying you shouldn't be on a PC to begin with if you don't have the interest or the IQ to understand why Linux is so great, then maybe Linux will be able to send MSWin back to the demonic cesspool in the inner sanctum of Hell it originated from.
But if they don't MS *will* win. ANd we'll all be locked in the Matrix
