especially in the areas of Linux being an actual contender on the desktop (hint: it's nowhere close and isn't even moving in the right direction to get there). :)

Can you expand on this? "Linux," as indeed you argued for any big company, is not moving in a single direction, it's moving in many directions. Are they all wrong?

In the context of 'Desktop Linux', it really means Gnome, KDE, and the set of technologies which are (or would fit) under the freedesktop.org umbrella. I can't speak for the OP, but my perception is that these projects are still suffering from a terminal case of CADT sydrome (http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html - written in 2003, and just as accurate today).
