Another tyhing I would like to add about Linux's weakness- The internet. The internet on Linux just doesn't appear as it should. All the webpage elements like buttons, radio buttons, etc appear slightly different from their intended looks. Thats bad.
Also Linux is behind Windows in the fonts department. Everything appears different in Linux.
Also what about R&D?. Since no single company is running Linux, who does the R&D?. I mean Linux for long has just been playing the "me too" game. Fo ex. Apple makes so many improvements to its OS. Many of them are new & never seen before. Such as iMovie, sherlock, iTunes, widgets, etc, etc. Similar ex. can be given for Microsoft. Now this happens because each of these companies have R&D machines behind them. As far as Linux is concerned, all I have seen it doing is playing the "me too" game. As soon as some nice feature is released in any of the other OSs, some Linux programmer comes up with a lookalike for Linux. Thats not very creative is it?. What do you have to say about this?.
Also I am glad that some of the Linux buffs accept that Linux is not for everyone.
