Harvard Concludes Linux Will Remain Second Best

    Perhaps OSS developers should spend less time copying Windows and/or Apple and start thinking about new ways of using our computers.

    And when they do, there is this other kind of poster who complains that OSS will never succeed if it isn't more like Windows. Maybe OSS developers should continue doing what they do best: Work on whatever they want to work on or are paid to work on.
