The number one browser for downloading a better browser.

Ubuntu's Lucid Lynx stalks PC and Mac converts

It's pretty simple...

What makes this guy think that Linux will just suddenly "take off"? (And we've been hearing that trumpet for years).

There are two fundamental flaws I see with Linux: 1) It's trying too much to be like the very thing it hates – Microsoft Windows (I'm going to get flamed for this) and 2) It's fighting a war that's long been won: the desktop war is over people. Microsoft won. Get over it.

I'm sure Ubuntu has come a long way since the 90's but it's going to take more than a new release and pixie dust to get people to start dashing to desktop Linux (in any flavor).
