<br>All of these things tied together in my mind with the culmination of the idea to setup a few video booths at Penguicon in April to record peoples statements on why they switched to Linux.<br></blockquote></div><br>Hmm...

<br>You really want to impact Linux's desirability? It's all about the games. Convince game companies to release games on multiple platforms. Linux does everything else really really well. But when given the choice between the latest reslease at Best Buy, or Frozen Bubble (or paying extra to fight with Cedega to *maybe* get the game to run)... Linux loses. Big time. People who don't play games don't seem to realize how important they are, and dismiss the issue, but this is what needs to happen for Linux to take the desktop. There simply aren't enough games that people want to play available for the Linux platform.
