OK, Heads Up Linux, You're on in 5..4..3..2 (cue music)...
,----[ Quote ]
| Some of us are still asking the question: "Is Linux Ready For The
| Desktop?"
|
| I don't care who you are...that's funny.
|
| And yet, this announcement was not heralded by one News site or
| blog...none that I could find at any rate, and don't get me wrong. I
| am proudly affiliated with one of the best Linux News websites in
| existance...I missed it just like you did. The "announcement" was
| eclipsed by a controversy that still rages in the community and so
| immersed in this discussion did we become...we let it get completely
| by us. No, Linus did not come down from the mountain with disks in
| hand to make the proclamation, nor did RMS or any other noted Linux
| Guru perform the coronation.
|
| Microsoft decided the issue for us.
|
| Personally, those are the most disturbing 6 words I have ever typed.
|
| Microsoft has physically picked up and placed Linux anywhere on the
| Great Chessboard they wish...no different than the other Pawns they
| push around. Novell should be seen as nothing more than the drunken
| sentry who opened the gate to let the Trojan Horse in. For those of
| you who have challenged me on MS having too much strength and leverage,
| as it is said often in over-dramatic fashion; I rest my case.
