It's not 2001, when using OpenOffice and a Linux desktop meant crippling incompatibilities and an overall poor user experience.

The Linux Desktop may not be "great" by whatever standard of "great" you come up with, but the state of the Microsoft desktop is slow, inconsistent, frustrating, and tries to upsell you, while also attempting to steal your data.

Yep, the Windows desktop has steadily gotten worse since Windows 2000 Pro. Linux desktops have steadily gotten better.
