Just a few weeks after the beta release of the next version of their Linux based OS, Red Hat has released 7.3.93 of their software, once again, code-named Limbo. Those of you who read my first Limbo review know that I gave it a favorable review. After downloading and installing the second beta, I had to take a few days before writing this article.

"I believe what you witness, as you install and use Limbo, is the "first draft," so to speak, of a true Windows killer."
But until that happens, if these problems don't exist on Windows, they'll certainly exist on the next 'big thing' where you'll have scum like Real Networks and AOL developing apps for it.
LOL .. yeah, whatever .. Windows killer my ass. They finally are starting to get Linux down to where it's finally useable, and now all of a sudden they have a Windows killer. So, uhhhh ... where's the drop-in replacement for FruityLoops 3.5? Yeah, that's what I thought. As you go to sleep tonight, keep saying to yourself over and over "It's the apps, stupid!"
"it just doesn't make sense to have one big and rich company run everything in the computer industry. you might like it. but a lot of people don't."
Well, you might as well get used to it. Because if MS is ever dethroned, it'll be done ONLY by another corporation that will quickly take its place.
Your ideas of a free and open OS dominating the desktop (even if it was far technically superior and had much better apps than Windows) is a pipe dream, and it will NEVER happen.
In order to kill the idea of a 'commercial OS' and all the bloatware, security holes, and spyware that goes with it, you've got to address the root of the problem, and that is getting rid of Corporate America
