I'm talking about technical abilities here, not what folks like to use. It's certainly much easier to use Windows than Unix. It's much easier to use a factory CD player than an empeg. Yet neither of us choose the easier thing. Why?

I'm still waiting for the part where you tell me what "features" X has that make it a better GUI for a desktop operating system. The features you mentioned make it great for a server.

I think that Windows is a great desktop OS and an terrible server OS, just as I think the reverse is true for UNIX. But I think UNIX (especially Linux) has the potential to be both, and I think X, and the absence of one true standard GUI, together keep that from happening.
