It happens... Go with the flow. (Score 1)

Why is this such a bad thing? :) As you say, it happens in art, it happens in music... And because of it, art and music continue to evolve and expand. The next alternative will be better still than Linux, as Linux is better than windows, and so on. It's natural. It's evolution. I (personally) don't see this as being so tragic and sad... I see it as exciting, and as having enormous potential! The people who move away from Linux when it gets a majority hold should be complimented for their grasp of how the universe works. It's all about growth and improvement. These are things we should be attracted to as humans (the greatest vehicle for change that nature has to offer), not things we should shun.
