A foundation for the desktop â one apple, two ideas
,----[ Quote ]
| The story of the free software desktop is littered with what-ifs and might-
| have-beens. The desktop has been 'good enough' for years, and can boast some
| considerable success stories, but has yet to make a significant breakthrough.
|
| On the face of it, the free software desktop should be an easy choice. The
| average GNU/Linux desktop costs little, looks good and performs well, and
| offers a real opportunity to break the upgrade cycle. Cost, security,
| scalability and versatility are persuasive arguments for the free desktop, but
| other factors have worked against the uptake of Linux at the corporate level.
|
| Inertia among users is usually given as the reason and users are made to take
| the blame, but perhaps there are simpler explanations. The desktop has been
| left in the hands of the Linux companies, and the Linux companies are many and
| small.
