'I hinted at this before, but today, it's official: Dell announced that consumers in the United Kingdom, France and Germany can order an Inspiron 6400 notebook or an Inspiron 530N desktop with Ubuntu 7.04 pre-installed... In his LinuxWorld keynote, Kevin Kettler announced that Dell and Novell intend to offer SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 factory-installed on select consumer notebooks and desktops in China.'"

    Speaking for myself only, I'd like to see Linux get wider adoption but not become some kind of corporate product. Large corporations tend to take grassroots ideas and turn them into the Same Old Thing by applying the same old metrics to them, in short, in doing what corporations do. Remember how blogs used to be an alternative form of media, and now every newspaper is a blog and every blog links to a newspaper? Hint: it's not the guys in front of the screen, but the guys behind the screen that you must pay attention to.

    People who say a language can "evolve" are fucking asshats. A language is like an RFC. It doesn't change. So go fuck yourself! You are just using this to justify not paying attention to your English teacher in high school. I am the same Anonymous Coward that posted above. By the way, I capitalized window in the previous post. Window is not a proper noun. I hope that clears up any confusion.
