I just hate those who feel the need to compare Linux to other OSes and argument that it should have that application and those functions and so on to compete. Linux should not compete, IMHO. It should exist. Period. I'm currently using SUSE. Commercial distros apply fair ways of making money out of Linux. And developers must eat. But if you don't agree that GNU/Linux is mainly about freedom, you can use MacOSX which has a *nix core and loads of stable and easy to install apps already here. Do you really think that in a world which kills people for oil (or let them die without helping, because they've nothing) and in which the big media industry forges most people's mind one day we'll see open source software and Linux (like it is now, to just a commercial OS called Linux) on every PC? Yes, the pentagon built the internet.
