[News] Why the "Year of Linux Desktop" Concept is Meaningless

Year of the Linux desktop? Who cares!

| We waste a lot of time trying to defend Linux when we don't need to.
| Let people think what they think. BUT, let our contributions speak
| for themselves. And finally, let the user decide if Linux is right
| for their desktop. The ultimate decider has, and always been the user.
| People and companies can trick them for now, but eventually, the
| truth or benefits of alternatives will spread to them. (Whether it
| be by word of mouth, or some clueless journalist just realising a
| change in tide of the IT industry).

| Everybody knows open-source is inevitable. (Even Microsoft).
|
| If you don't believe me, just look at these examples...
| 
| (1) Microsoft Shared Source Initiative
| 
| (2) MS Research Facility to study Open-Source solutions.
| 
| (3) CodePlex
| 
| (4) Novell and Microsoft -- Working Together for Customers
