With the Season of Giving hard upon us once again, it's a safe bet that many of us are thinking about glitter. Not just glitter, but glitz, sparkle and shine, jingle, bells and whistles. Such, after all, are the qualities gifts -- and the holidays in general -- are often expected to have, and manufacturers of everything from ornaments to iPods do their best to make it happen. What, one might ask, about operating systems? Should they, too, have shiny, splashy, gotta-have features to make them sparkle in users' eyes?
Bells and whistles...no, useability!

Isn’t it curious there are consistently over 1200 users in the Ubuntu IRC channel (#ubuntu) and around 300 in Windows (##windows), yet Windows has 90+% of the market share, and Windows battles 100% of the malware...wouldn’t you think this backwards if there were so many issues and Windows sucked so bad? It seems the more knowledgeable computer users (Linux) need more help with their stuff...is it really that much more difficult to do less w/Linux, what am I missing?
