The world as frankps sees it!
Well put!
I often read what Thom Holwerda is publishing on OSNEWS, and yesterday he published some critics of Mark Shuttleworth. His critics are so in place. How many times have we heard that this is gonna be the year of Linux?
I guess every year since 2001. And the same goes with the sentence: Now Linux is ready for the desktop. Funny thing is, Linux is not to be the preferred OS for the desktop any time soon. It is not gain enough market share to make it interesting. And market leading software is in most cases still not available for the plattform.
My take: Windows 7 is gonna be a huge success!

Hi Frank. You and Thom are correct but there is also another side to this.
My take is that Linux should never be ready for the Desktop. The open source community needs an advanced operating system that doesn’t have to follow the strict rules needed for every day use by a simple user. I believe that Linux should only be for that 5 to 10% that can use it. I am an elitist by nature and Linux is my OS…
Wouldn’t have it any other way.
