Editorial To me, it's a miracle how every tiny article on OSNews.com, or any other tech-site, ends up in people shouting all sorts of nonsense at each other like "Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy", "Linux kept the cold war cold" or "Bill Gates wants to buy the moon and charge people for looking at it". Do these people really know what they are saying, or are they just going with the Open-Source flow? Update: Rebuttal article here.

that is so true, Linux will never become widely used until there is some co-operation between the various companies. The Open Source Desktop is so fractured that creating an application that will run on all distributions is a nightmare, installation isnt standardized and for every application seems to be different. The truth is until Linux comes together with a standard desktop environment, installation format and better hardware support for mainstream hardware it's never going to take off.
