How many people use a supercomputer to read their email? ;-)

[Depending on your definition of "supercomputer". Compared to the 
Commodore 64 that I started out with, the dual-core multi-GHz thing I 
have at home probably *seems* like a damn supercomputer!]

The best software for running a supercomputer is *not* necessarily the 
best software for running a desktop. I'm not saying Linux isn't good, 
I'm saying this particular snippet of logic is flawed.
