Well said.

Too often linux guys get wrapped up in the plans for world domination (ie,
linux on every desktop and server) without asking the question 'why?'.

If windows works for you, use it. It doesnt work for me, so I dont. It isnt
necessary for every man and his dog to use Linux for me to enjoy it and get
use out of it. I run Mandriva. My girlfriend runs OS X. My 4 year old runs
WinXP. My brother runs Win98. My dad runs Suse at the moment (he chops and
changes alot).

Why? Cos it makes sense for their usage.
