Why? So that you can prove something? Here's a tip; stop getting into arguments about who copied who (which are entirely subjective) and tell your friends that Linux (yes, I stopped caring about the naming controversy a while ago and you will too) is a tool that they can choose to use or not. A few of them will install it within 6 months. They won't become passionate about it, but they will give it a try now and then. "are average end users that “stupid” that they need to be kept in familiar territory only?". The fact that Windows XP is appearing on underpowered devices intended mainly for web browsing is clear proof that this is the case. If you want more, try http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/65877.html?wlc=1235391202. That's one of the less offensive ones.

It is more difficult to create your own brand and to promote your own ideals and views. But that is what is _really_ required in order to be successful 10 years away. Why are there always practicalists who insist that the easy road right now is always the best? I agree, it is our branding after all.
