Sorry, I couldn't read past the first few sentences of the article. It disgusted me.

The Linux community as a whole seems to always have been grumbling about how linux hasn't spread. The reason in the past is most people using a computer at home aren't really tech savvy. Ubuntu is a step towards bridging that gap.

That article is a example of the "elite" looking down their nose at the "little people." The thing is, if anyone wants linux to spread, the linux community has to at least meet them halfway. Calling them morons or making fun of them isn't a step in the right direction.
