Why Desktop Market Share Shouldn�t be Linux�s Priority

“The desktop is going to improve and transform over time and
that situation isn’t likely to change. Microsoft have just recently
come out with Windows 7 and Apple had last released Snow Leopard.

GNOME now, more than ever before. KDE is slowly coming out of its
cocoon as the KDE 4 series matures, while GNOME is in the process

stop directing rants at MS and get to brainstorming for these free
desktop environment giants. Bug reports need to keep coming and
feedback should flow in.”
