Come on.... (Score 1)

This is about the lamest flame-fest invitiation I've read in a long time (apart from all the other articles appearing sporadically on the same topic).

All the statements arguing that Linux has lost the desktop war never actually state what they mean by "desktop." Last time I checked, Linux was the kernel to my Unix-like-mostly-Free-Software-running-system and not a desktop environment. OK, seriously now, I am running the aforementioned system and find that for my personal requirements it outdoes every commercially available system. But, that is just me. I am not at war with Microshaft and I have heard no OSS/FS person saying something about a war or a crusade (mind you, ESR, RMS and others have better rethorical skills than some countries' elected leaders. Couldn't resist this comment, sorry :-))

Furthermore, if we were to analyse the competitive market environment for OSS/FS-desktops it could be argued that we are dealing with a disruptive technology, a phrase coined by Clayton Christensen (HBS prof, good read). But then again, that would mean that yellow-press authors would have to read a bit about the field they are researching.

Damn, just realised that I actually fell for this troll article.....
