Re: Thank you?
If the price we have to pay for massive adoption of Linux is to have it managed like Windows, then thanks, I don't want it.
Me neither. Linux doesn't need to change for it to be adopted by the masses - it doesn't matter how great it is, it isn't forcibly installed on every computer you buy - so it will never be as popular.
But anyway, there already is a massive adoption of Linux for the many niches it serves (or one niche - not a closed consumer desktop). Becoming as popular as Windows doesn't appeal to most Linux users - where nobody wants to run an OS that's dumbed down for grandma but only the technically adept can use it safely.
