Is desktop Linux stuck on stupid?

Imposter or Ignorant?
Abe: He's absolutely an imposter. ZDNet bloggers use psuedonyms. He may be one of the ones that does. One of them wanted to quote me on something and the guy I called had a french name and lived in Canada (nothing wrong with that, btw) but it surprised me. After a few minutes, I realized the guy was a IT recruiter and that ended the conversation.
Frankly, I thought this guy was pretty wet.

Few of the ZDNet writers actually write their own columns, they used uncredited staffers and associate editors. I worked at Wankerdesk lo so many years ago. Quite an education, it was. Just as you all suspected - it's all about generating clicks. Any actual quality that leaks out is accidental.
Gotta like Honore, unlike stuck on stupid writer...
Hmmm....Copy cat desktops, eh?
Not that Windows itself isn't essentially a copy of the Mac, which is essentially a copy of the PARC's Star interface, which was itself a metaphor for a physical desktop.
Big whoop.
Givin' people something familiar ain't sexy, but it ain't bad, either.
Besides, once you start using them, you realize how different they really are.

Nice way to articulate the point!
Yes Dino, very eloquent.
Aw shucks, guys, you're embarrassing me!!!

Mr. Murphy, have you heard of Plasma? The new desktop environment KDE is developing? I guess we will see who will be copying who.
The fundamentals of Linux are far superior to Windows. Many of the features and capabilities that FOSS furnishes can't even be made available on Windows.
Just to name a few: Can Windows have many virtual desktops active and work in them at the same time without having to minimize one to use another? How many remote GUI connections can Windows have on a desktop? How many file systems does windows support? Does it have any backup or cloning (ghosting) utilities like cpio, dump & dd? Does it have the modularity, scalability, robustness and reliability like Linux? Can you serve more than one or two apps on the same computer reliably? No wonder why there are too many Windows servers. To run an appliction, you need a dedicated server; otherwise your service quality goes down the drain.
And what is up with this "We , We, we". who is we? I hope you don't consider yourself a FOSS advocate; because WE, The Community and supporters of FOSS don't need your support. The developers and the distros do NOT need your analysis and input. We know what we are doing and very pleased with the progress FOSS is making. With supporters like you, who needs enemies?
