"Recently, both Novell and Red Hat went on record as dismissing the idea that the consumer Linux desktop is going to be taking off anytime soon. It's not? Has anyone told Asus and Xandros? Everex and gOS? How about Dell and Ubuntu? They're all doing great with consumer Linux desktops." The enterprise Linux leaders are not the ones making strides on the desktop. Does that mean that the Linux desktop has no future, or just that they've let their business focus let them drop the ball on that segment of the market?

So now all the other distros that are popular than SUSE and Fedora have to somehow bow down to the fact that they have done all the work?
Thats getting rather boring now, it's called sharing and it's the spirit of opensource and Linux. They've been around longer, just wait until Ubuntu their own projects and having them put into upsteam, upstart is a start and there's alot more to come.
