If you want to be entertained, get an XBox or Windows. If you want to do work, X is great.

Google had one of their tech talks with two of the X developers and they laid out what X can do and what they plan, along with its shortcomings.
I was going to make a similar reply until I realized he used "X" to represent a substitution not X as in the X Windowing system.
