Weblog:   Real Desktop Linux, Part II
Subject:   Qualifications
Date:   2003-12-03 05:29:30
From:   anonymous2
Having seen this weblog, it appears pretty clear that the author doesn't have a thorough background in enterprise (or even mid-sized company) IT support, nor in what the average corporate user is looking for on their desktop. He at least admits his bias up front for the CLI environment and the strength of the standard UNIX tool set. But to think that these are sufficient offerings for most corporate users is not only an outdated attitude, but is exactly the problem that held Linux back in the past from wider adoption. Thank goodness there are more forward-thinking, farsighted development teams out there, making a useful Linux (for a larger population) a reality.

    Mutt for email? Outlook is an overkill?

    I think the author is as qualified to review "average usability" as an Iranian ultrareligious mullah reviewing democracy.

    Sad.
