Personally I think this is just bad press for Linux by the Register and the article has an agenda.

I do not need to tinker with my Linux environment, my family has been using Linux on the desktop for years...

Just because some dev prefers a MAC and seems to be using a terribly broken system with bad package management and dependency issues does not mean the KDE, Gnome, Unity, Lxde, Fluxbox, E17, Openbox or Xfce... to name a few are failures on the desktop.

My E17 setup is vastly superior to any boring OSX environment... and yes it wakes up faster when I open the lid.

Miguel de Icaza is hardly "some dev" though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_de_Icaza

> Miguel de Icaza is a Mexican free software programmer, best known for starting the >>GNOME<< and Mono projects.

Of course. He's the guy with the agenda to destroy Linux.

With this post he says: 'mission accomplished' to his Microsoft masters.
