Knowing that ArkLinux is the offspring of Bernhard "Bero" Rosenkraenzer (interview here), a former Red Hat employee and KDE hacker, should make it one of the more interesting and, arguably, credible new Linux distributions to hit the streets in recent seasons. With the rise of Lycoris, Lindows, and Xandros, among others, Ark Linux is certainly a far cry from a surefire success. Let's take a look.

synergy: again, looking at the broader picture, the gap is closing quickly
On the consumer front, IMHO, the gap is actually widening. Windows and Mac OS is getting more and more consumer functionality for their OS, while Linux is still in many ways more backwards. And as for the things Linux *can* do, really it isn't reason enough for consumers to switch.
And I don't remember mentioning commercial applications in the first place. Speaking of which, on the corporate desktop, as oppose to average great-grandma, the gap is closing, I admit. Heck, that's why I say corporate desktop is far more profitable.

They probably have no right do to so if their developers are divided over the issue - check on the IRC channel. It is like the Palestinian Authority condemning Sept 11 attacks, while some idiots in it are celebrating the fact.
