Where do we go from here now that Gnome has grown up?

| My recent post about old the beginnings of Gnome and my natural tendency to
| look at the Roadmap for the next version of Gnome and Ubuntu when an Ubuntu
| release comes out have led me to a conclusion: Gnome is pretty much finished.

Would you pay for a "Work in progress"?

| Sorry windows people. You have been gypped. You have been ripped off and had
| your coffers emptied into the microsoft pockets. You have paid for the
| privilege of using a final product but have been handed a work in progress.
| In other words an unfinished product. Something that is not good enough to be
| called final. Something with many problems and missing features (where is
| that wonderful new file system?) If you were to buy anything, whether it is
| hardware or software, especially if you are going to rely on it for a living.
| Wouldn't you want it to be something other than "A work in progress"?

How We Pay for Microsoft's Mistakes

| We're sort of turned off, though, by a company that takes five years to roll
| out a product, charges around $100 to $400 for it (depending on the version)
| and then admits it made billions of dollars on a faulty operating system.
|
| An admission of guilt --while endearing in a politician -- is likely to
| attract lawsuits, too. There's no better way to burn customers than with
| products that aren't ready for the market.
