Linux is second to no other system now in the quality of its web browsing support.

Quite a different situation than it was five years ago, when Netscape 4.x was the only viable browser. I used to keep a collection of scripts in ~/bin to kill netscape, remove lock files, etc. The only respite was I used the KDE 1.0 file manager (kfm?) to read LWN. :-)

I always think of the browser situation when I hear someone say "Linux will never succeed on the desktop because it doesn't have [whatever]." Just check back in a couple years. Linux will have [whatever], and Windows will still suck.
