Red Hat Linux CEO Says: 'Stick with Windows at home'
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Canis Lupus
Matthew Szulik, chief executive of Linux vendor Red Hat, has said that Linux needs to mature further before home users will get a positive experience from the operating system, saying they should choose Windows instead.
Linux is seen by Microsoft as its most dangerous competitor for desktop operating systems, and after a number of high-profile cases where government departments have switched from Windows to Linux-based systems, the OS has been making some progress. However, Red Hat said that the hype around desktop Linux is still mostly unfounded at the moment.
Unless you're a Linux evangelist, most people already know this for a fact, but it's something else when a Linux distributor's top dog says it for good measure 
Szulik mentions, however, that Linux would be ready for the desktop bigtime in two years ... but again, how many times have we heard that? Check the full article here.

I agree, and I run linux. Its not nearly easy enough to install and administer for the average user. Windows is basically put the disc in and go, linux generally takes more fanagaling. Besides, Red Hat isn't really meant for the desktop/home user anyway, it doesn't really have all the multimedia support etc. I'm still keeping linux tho
