Linux InformationWeek is speculating on how Linux will change in the next four years. "By 2012 the OS will have matured into three basic usage models. Web-based apps rule, virtualization is a breeze, and command-line hacking for basic system configuration is a thing of the past."

There is no room in the OS market for another Windows-alike OS. OS X has its hardware niche, but that's it.
It's called a monopoly, you know?

And that's the only way for it to survive. Your model would just fail on the market, as others did before. Think about OS/2 or BeOS. Both were sophisticated approaches, the first one was even out before Windows 95.


We are the Borg, join us. What kind of an argument is that? Surely you can do better than that pathetic effort.
