And anyone who claims that Gnu/Linux is a feasable desktop solution for the masses in it's current state takes Gnu/Linux too seriously. :)

Possibly.

Should the masses even be using computers at all?  It was marketing and sales tactics that put computers in every home.  Now we are beginning to see why this might not have been a great idea.  I certainly don't remember any LOGO viruses!

Perhaps the reason that the masses aren't ready for Linux on the desktop is that they probably shouldn't have a computer in the first place.

Then the normal user should only  be able to execute binarys from two directories one that contains the OS system files and the other containing user programs. However while this might be the most secure OS model it isn't practical at the moment as it'd break compatability with nearly all the old software.

You must really hate Apple. Do you think the masses would be ready for OS X on the desktop?

I think computers should be made accessible for everyone. They've all sorts of uses and make life easier. Plus, digital things can be reproduced basically for nothing, which opens some interesting possibilities for society. Of course, it's mostly not been going so well, but that's just an artifact of the fucked up world we're living in right now.
