It's one of those catch phrases that never really seems to die out. Wherever you look in the operating systems world, at personal blogs written in crummy English, or at high-profile quality websites, there is bound to be someone, somewhere who used it. Even I, myself, used it in articles in a far and distant past, and I'm not particularly proud of it. "Ready for the desktop" is no longer acceptable - in fact, it's on its way out.

Ironically it seems you have picked up on Microsoft's greatest failure as some sort of failure of F/OSS. Why do you think Ballmer was screaming Developers? Why did he throw a chair across the room? What was he so upset about?
