Don't lose sight of what has been a stumbling block for Linux
attracting commercial software vendors. The fact that there has never
been a stable/standard fielsystem structure for the commercial software
houses to build against. Who wants to write a terriffic shoot-em-up video
game and then have to port it to 10 different distros and a constantly
changing lib structure?
Perhaps now, with a consistant LSB, Linux will attract more commercial
software vendors to port their applications to (i.e. TurboTax, etc.). We
can only hope...
