Interview With Mark Shuttleworth
suka writes "The founder of the Ubuntu project argues in a recent interview with derStandard.at that the time for mass consumer sales of Linux on the desktop has not yet come. He goes on to talk about the integration of proprietary drivers, the One Laptop per Child project, and 'great applications' from Microsoft."
How ready? Probably 5 minutes after Linux users stop acting like you...er I mean like asshats....er I mean ....so "hard to manage."
So as Mr. Shuttleworth inferred "Not yet."
Mac OS X and Windows XP working side by side to fight back the night.
Could you make another fine display of professional ad hominem for us? Have you thought that the mindless outlashing from people like you is what is really holding Linux back?
Typically, when you bite off more than you can chew, you do play sour grapes and try to make the label "hard to manage" stick. Did you ever think that maybe you're trying to manage someone who, in all reality, should be managing you? That probably never made its way into your ego clouded mind, did it, because, in your world, you're above everyone else.
Once the line is crossed then it's on.
"mass consumer sales of Linux on the desktop" "'great applications' from microsoft"... I don't want to see Linux gradually sell out, I like it the way it is... FREE and OPEN SOURCE... If it's available for sale then eventually someone will realise that it'd be much more profitable to close the source, implement DRM on everything and sue everything that moves. And personally wheter or not you think I'm over-reacting... The point is that once it becomes profitable enough to sell Linux then what's to stop all major distributions selling it?
