Template for "Linux is dead" article.
1. Establish street cred. I too am a Linux user, and even I can't stand it.
2. Use "market share" numbers to imply near death, even though innovation and development of Linux will continue, since unlike commercial software, linux does not really follow the same market-driven development cycle.
3. Make some dumb Linux distro decisions that a business/office would never make, and write about the trials and tribulations
4. Invite the Linux community to bash you, implying that what you write is very reasonable, and the Linux folks are zealots.
