Obviously not. The Linux advocates worries are legitimate. The trolls
simply try to make it seem like Linux is not desktop-ready.
The point is simply that some vendors get it, some don't, and yet trolls
will continue to push the decline of netbooks sales by some vendors as being
due to "Linux is not ready", when it is manifest that it is predominantly
Microsoft making sure its turf is secure.
Nuance, Tim, nuance!
