You know... All in all, Linux in it's current state — most users would still stick with Windows/OSX. I won't switch to another OS, just because it's open, or "cool". The open alternatives, for example, to office and graphics editing software are way better on Windows and OSX. I don't care they're open source, since I can't get my work done, so I pay for more convenient tools.

What goes for Compiz Fusion, it has been used as an e-penis since it's release. You won't spot the difference in performance of Aero on most modern machines. And Quartz is simply fast. And, yes, I do see myself pointlessly drawing water circles and sparks on my desktop. Everyday. It's what computers are meant for, isn't it?

Perhaps, someday Linux will become something more than a great server OS. Right now, I must say "no, thanks".

P.S. Yes, I work on Linux. We have the latest Fedora at work, and I run Xubuntu on my legacy station at home.
