How to kill opensource Desktop.

And what point would that be? To let Win32-based FOSS flounder, decidedly limiting reasons for Windows users to eventually switch to a free and open source -- and more secure, and more stable, and more usable, etc. -- platform?
By creating better and more stable software alternatives, users are given more choices. So what if MS improves their "stack" if the user wins in the end? What's wrong with having satisfied users? What open-source advocates (including developers) should focus on is writing better software -- on any platform -- that can compete more effectively with closed ones, thereby giving users the opportunity to make more intelligent choices, which they (*we*) do not have right now.
Merry Christmas!
