Why can't we all just get along? No really? (Score 1)

It seems to me that much of the conversation about Operation Systems and software in general centers on this versus that. . . Think automobiles! Maybe there is not a perfect solution because there is not just one problem. Different Lniux distributions do exactly what no one company can. They provide a diverse audience with solutions to diverse problems.

Conquest aside. . . I love the fact that for the different wants and needs I have options. Driving Linux as a whole into a single line or driving the desktop options into a Microsoft like model is misguided. Sure maybe some distros and desktops should work to meet the needs of the majority of average desktop users but should they all? I sure hope not. The Linux community, Microsoft Community, Mac OS X community, Sun Solaris Community and so on can all be very happy with their product and can all be right. We do not have to impress them and they do not have to impress us (whoever they and us are). But the minute we all try to impress everyone then we become a colorless, flavorless mass and that would be terribly disappointing. No one has to dethrown anyone else to succeed. KDE = Good / Windows = Good / Mac OS = Good / Unix (All Flavors) = Good. . .
