GNU/Linux on the desktop: a modest business proposal
,----[ Quote ]
| GNU/Linux is a great project, with fantastic underlying technology,
| but its name conjures up images of geek humor, stuffy Unix-like
| machines from a 1970s university, and--worst of all--servers. Not
| desktops. Therefore, I propose we set up a business that will
| fork the kernel into a new project, let?s call it MegaOS, and
| install that onto a set of new machines, each branded with our
| corporate MegaOS logo.

| I'm a marketing guy, and I look at everything in my world from a marketing

| And to finish this article, Kudos to Linux. I get two reactions when
| people look at the desktop on my Laptop and Desktop. One is.. "Er.. is
| that a Mac?" and the other is "Why don't you just buy a Mac?". Well
| kudos is due, because I don't NEED to buy a Mac. I can get the Mac
| look and feel, which I like, and the massive productivity boost of
| the desktop cube ( and enjoyable extras ) even on my three year
| old HP laptop.
