I guess people shouldn't be speaking while debating if <INSERT-CURRENT-YEAR> is the year of the Linux desktop or not. The choices in life are usually (and i emphasize usually) simple, and this case is no exception. You either discard your privacy and maybe your security and go Windows, or you discard your usability (for some) and go Linux. Or go Mac, FreeBSD, hell, even BeOS or Hurd or whatever floats your boat.

But seeing people still bitching about how they can't go over Windows "because I have to play games" well ... it hurts. It really hurts.

We should know better.
