"I came away from the second annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit with mixed feelings. I mean, it's hard not to support the group that pays Linus Torvalds to spend his time continuing to lead the poster-boy project for free and open source software. But at the same time, those golden chains are my biggest concern about the Linux Foundation."

I worry about linux on the desktop too. Linux has become very advanced but it is difficult to take advantage of some of these advanced features if the drivers don't work or are incomplete. I'm pretty happy now with Compiz on Gnome but I'm still waiting for Glucose, TTM, and updated Intel drivers to pull everything together. My WiFi drivers still don't light up my WiFi light and haven't since I switched to iwlwifi. Evdev keyboard doesn't work for me and there is little documentation to point me in the right direction. I think corporate support is great for Linux but unfortunately the biggest corporate contributors don't seem to care much about the desktop. Hopefully Adobe, the foundation's most recent addition, will start to change things for the better on the Linux desktop.
