Last Thursday OSNews had the opportunity to meet Miguel de Icaza, founder of Gnome, Ximian and among other things leader of the much discussed, Mono project. Miguel is a talented and versatile developer but he is also a very intelligent businessman able to understand the industry on many different levels. Talking to Miguel guarantees that you are very quickly taken away by his enthusiasm and optimism and his thoughtful strategies and vision on how OSS will take over the world.

yeah, the linux desktop is pretty slow so I switched back to windows and stopped using beOS because there isnt a good version out yet. i still don't understand how the rest of the world will *force* the us to linux. there are many other open source alternatives to linux... i also think the biggest linux companies are US-based. It also seems the reason linux is so big is because of the USA.
I also don't see the point of copying off of commercial software then bashing it.. i can't wait until open source organizations actually create something that is different and useful ;-) (although they have, im talking about something with huge impact like java or .net) not just php and python and what not.. although zend is the company behind php for the most part
