This was just too funny to pass up... Apparently,
Network Computing magazine did a story about linux
in the enterprise:

Someone wrote them back with this reply

http://www.networkcomputing.com/1302/1302fn.html

"Linux is not ready for the Enterprise. There is not a single
voice-controlled app for any of the mission-critical functions of the
Enterprise. Conspicuously absent are warp core control, phaser bank
activation, interstellar navigation, transporter operation and the
all-important self-destruct sequence. Until these and thousands of other
important apps are written and deployed, Linux will just be a toy in the
Enterprise."

What can you say to that? :-)  Perhaps for gnome 5.0?!?

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
