For everyone who doesn't have their own development department to adapt Linux

Toy OS for technoweenies? Try server o/s powering an awful lot of major
applications.
Desktop Linux has less of a value proposition. Face it, most people use
computers at work, where you've got to run MS Office - which means Windows or
MacOS. Real simple.

Your attitude, Miles, is typical and is a large part of the problem.
Ummm... what exactly is the problem of which you speak?
That Linux hasn't become the People's Operating System? The Volks-Machina? The
dominant OS? That success has come to only commercial operating systems from
companies with questionable devotion to the best interests of their customers
in particular and the public in general? Or do you not care?
