Of course, if a Linux desktop takes so long to develop to the point  
where it has the ease of use an appliance (aside: I find the  
interfaces on almost all appliances that are more complicated than a  
toaster to be ridiculously inscrutable, but that's another whole  
flame-war in itself) then the technology is likely to have moved on  
so far that the very idea of a desktop computer will seem quaint.
