Response to: The Killer App is Ubiquity
The fact that you mention compiling software in the context of a discussion on desktop usage shows how pathetically out of touch with reality you are. Don't worry you've got lots of company here in la la land. Users do not compile software to make it run on their desktops. Never. Ever. They don't even install software. They merely assent to its installation with fear and trembling. Please try to get out and meet some average personal computer users and wake the hell up already. They don't want to 'know the computer' and you damn sure won't force them to.

I mention compiling in the context of _developers_, not "typical desktop users". The post I respond to speaks of developers, I speak of developers. I leave it to the reader to decide which of us is in better touch with reality.
