It doesn't need one. As far as "Linux" goes it is up at the top give or
take. Well it was until the bugs got so bad that the promised "on time"
releases are suffering and a backlog is building up. Give me Debian any
day over that fanboi infected pile. To this day I still can not fathom
why they bothered with a Kubuntu and Ubuntu. Choice to confuse. All they
had to do was to provide a selection dialog on the
installer. Madness. But the "advocates" and the idiots saw this as more
"choice" whereas all it was was more work and more noise and more
potential bugs.

XP can't be selling well, or we'd have the wintrolls crowing about it all
over the advocacy newsgroups.
