Quoting:For one thing, for everyday folks, Linux is still a pain in the butt to use, its user interface still showing too much of its geek roots.


That's a lie. Plain and simple. No need to even debate the point - it's just a flat-out lie.

Also referring to "it's [Linux] user interface" is a bizarre thing to say.

What IS Linux's user interface exactly?

System calls? Well, yeah, it's an interface straight from the '70's, might be kinda "showing too much of its geek roots"...

Other than that, horrendously wrong statement, the article was quite interesting, It was mostly about using a virtual machine to provide security for the client OS. My real reservation is that the VM kernel appears, to me, to be proprietary, and is, therefore, it selfe protected by obscurity, and we know how well that works.
