After reading an article from eJabs, I can see the appeal of Linux, the great new slap in the face of Microsoft, but it makes me smile when people say it is totally customizable. When you see the dog's breakfast that most people make of a web site design, what can possibly be cool about a whole OS along similar lines?

Call me conformist, but Vista and OS X and even Linux designers have way better ideas than 99.9% of the rest of us, and I think most users are better off with a few options rather than carte blanche. Also, it makes more sense to vent at Steve Jobs or Bill Gates for a crap implementation rather than take the blame yourself for an arcane set up that works badly for literally one person on the planet.

I may be wrong, but I doubt we will see too many screenshots from users owning up to diabolical Linux GUI tweaks that make Jackson Pollack's sense of order look positively trigonometric.
