That doesn't have to be true. Consider OS X - if anything, their target has been 'creative professionals' (which reaches into all kinds of places) for a long time. But they've been able to amass a *huge* number of hacker and geek users with their development platform, UNIX heritage, 'just works' approach, and lustful upmarket / cool kids attractiveness. "Picking an audience" doesn't necessarily mean picking *only one* audience. :-) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ "Socks for the foot menu!" - Liam Quin _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
