Novell CEO said what?!

Ronald Hovsepian said that Linux isn't ready for desktop use!
The consumer market is taking longer to develop, he said Wednesday. "The market for the desktop for the next three to five years is mainly enterprise-related," he said.
Say it isn't so! I could of sworn it was otherwise with all "Your Linux is ready" ads.

I find this interesting cause it is actually true, I've been using GNU/Linux on and off for 5 years, it did come a long way, but it still isn't desktop ready, I for a while tried to believe otherwise, but when a CS major like me, who is computer literate, needs to go through thousands of How-Tos and man pages to figure out one of the easiest GNU/Linux distro, you can't deny that Linux still has a long way to go.
