Year of the linux desktop? Not while the public face of linux and the internet voices of it's devotees remain so pompous, arrogant and just downright unpleasant...

So true. Why, Windows would never have become popular if Gates and Balmer weren't so damn charismatic. And the Apple OSes also clearly owe their success to the modest charm of Mr Jobs.

Really, I can't think of a single OS that doesn't owe its success to some saintly technical leader.
