I don't understand why Linux is considered bad desktop software.

I'd rather not play games, not use adobe software, not use Microsoft .NET, not use Microsoft Office, not use Microsoft Internet Explorer, not use Microsoft Silverlight, and break idiotic software patents laws rather than giving up my privacy and freedom.

Linux is just a kernel, there aren't any kernels that make good desktop software.

I don't care. Windows is my arcade. Everyone uses it and everyone writes software for it, often exclusively. Shit just works. Windows respects my time. All the programming environments I could care to use run on Windows.

I'll boot Linux when I want. Occasionally it's useful. But most of the time I use Windows.

Windows needs 6 versions of .NET to run C# programs.

Well, there is DotGNU Portable.NET, but it's typical GNU half-implemented and undocumented shit.

There is only so much effort invested into the implementation so it isn't going to be as mature as Microsoft's or Mono's implementations.
