Linux on the Netbooks - They Blew it to Hell!

I really didn't like the the way linux came out on earlier netbooks.

Why couldn't linux come in one flavor?

Why couldn't the interface be a bit more stylish? They could have put all those 3D zoomy, twirly, flashy, bouncing features. Instead they went for something colorful and child-like. If it's going to be unfamiliar, make it cool.

Why didn't Linux come with a gimmick? OSX had cover flow, expose and spaces.

If there was one platform that could push Linux into the casual mainstream, netbooks were it.

With Firewalls, anti-virus etc slowing down the atom processor, the Linux was so the answer.

Now with windows 7 coming out, it's all over.
