And here we are back my original comment. The Linux community has no idea how to take criticism. Who told me to wait for a desktop Linux distro? No one. That doesn't mean that isn't what I'm doing. Quite frankly, I am impatient (after using different Linux distros for more than a decade), and so are many that are forced to remain in the Windows world because of this concept that Linux developers and zealots have. It is not my fault that your distro is not usable for most people on the desktop. I am not the one that decided to create, distibute, and in some cases even market my distro. Yet in your mind it *is* my fault because I don't fix the bugs myself.
My overall point is this. If you want to keep up with the rhetoric about how this isn't a paying job and that you don't have to fix things you don't want to fix, De Raadt will continue to be right. Others may not say it as bluntly, but he speaks the truth. Until you understand that Linux is *necessary* and *must* succeed, and you get out of this puerile mindset of "I'll do what I want, and if you don't like it make your own distro," maybe we can have a computing environment with real competition in it.
