No, but pushing it in their faces is counterproductive. So is spending a day on useless conferences when we could all be coding.

Or are you implying that GNU/Linux isnt ready for the mass market ?

No computer is, and GNU is certainly unsuited to windows refugees who think that windows is the only way and everything else should replicate it. As has been said before, GNU/Linux is not Windows sans spyware, viruses etc. Until people accept this, it will never be ready for the mass market in the sense that Windows is.

It is well-known that I am blunt and unsophisticated. It's largely your fault if you object to this.
