Because windows rules on the desktop market.

Remeber the Nokia N900, like 12 people bought them!
I beg to differ.

Interesting video.

Yes, a bit to long. But still pretty fun.

Fairly old vid now, but he still raises some good points.

And... Bryan Landuke is a TMO member too.

This was the point about MeeGo:
- Standardize the software (Linux kernel, rpm packaging, Qt gui)
- Penetrate the market (Mobile, Tablet, Desktop, plus others)
- Compile a Store (where legitimate software can be bought)
- Create the Incentive (where devs can jump ship or port, and attract mainstream users)

In 2012:
MeeGo is dead
Android has taken that spot
Android has very little to do with "Linux" (its mostly Dalvik this and that)
Linux in the same mess it was 4 years ago (actually worse, the competitions gotten much better)

Yes, Linux sucks because it's not Windows.
It sucks because it's something I'm not used to.
It sucks because taskbar is on top.
It sucks because taskbar is on bottom.
It sucks because taskbar is not blue.
It sucks because I can't understand it.
It sucks because it's different.
It really sucks because it offers choice.
How could somebody even want that.
It sucks because I need to know how to read, learn and apply instead of just how to pick my nose.
It sucks because it can be whatever I want it to be.
It sucks because Linux users are annoying (and they suck).
It really sucks when **** breaks and I don't know how to fix it, so better solve the problem by bashing users and devs who obviously suck as much as Linux does, forgetting the fact that I could actually do something about it myself if I could be bothered to think.
OH AND IT'S FREE, IT CAN'T BE ANY GOOD!
You don't see free cars or free beer either, now do you?

Seriously speaking, Linux is doing fine, it's everywhere and newbies just keep on coming from every direction with ever growing rate. I love the way it sucks!

No platform is ever perfect... I don't understand when constructive criticism with proposed solutions by those entrenched in the said platform attracts hate comparing said platform to competing platform's weaknesses instead...

Why does said platform's strength have to be only because competing platforms suck even more

Why can't we understand the flaws in said platform and comment on that to overcome them and improve said platform even more instead...

I really found many of his remarks to be not professional enough.

May not be professional but at least it's true.

"Linux" may be a superior OS, but it's an inferior ecosystem.
Similar comparison between Maemo 5 (Linux), iOS (OSX), Android (Win8).
