Linux will go even mainstream in the future. There will be more casual user installing Linux onto their box which will then be a potential market for Google product. I presumed Google will push more product onto Linux.
Other scenario? This is "do no evil" campaign in disguise.
I've found The Disney Way book very interesting to me (who want to know what happen in my work place). I don't know what others may think of it as I am not a manager or even a wannabe one atm:D.
3. RDF. Ugh. Wouldn't a domain-specific XML schema have been better. I find RDF too abstract, not human readable, and contrarian to many of the design goals XML was supposed to bring in the first dang place. ...and RDF has semantics where XML doesn't.
Okay, people has their own perspetives regarding this non-technical user. Let's put that aside and solve some of the problem here.
Asian input method. My friend here has managed to install scim package from Kubuntu repo to provide him alternate input method. Japanese input method in this context. Hard? It was simply apt-get install. Yes, it need the power of technical-user. You need to know how to install stuff;)
Media playing. I dunno dude, I mostly met with mp3, mpg, avi (XviD), VCD, and DVD. I don't need extra stuff to install than the base codecs from mplayerhq (win32 codecs). I've installed this codecs a long time ago when this machine of mine still labelled FC3 (now it's FC4 via apt-get)
Device support. You've got a point there. It needs driver that is somehow, sometimes, hard to be found in Linux world. I wish somehow the hardware vendor found a way to either make the documentation public or make the binary linux driver available to download
Font. I'm no graphic designer so I don't need any fancy font. But I do picky when faced on a visual environment. As I can recall, default Kubuntu install which what my gf is currently using is visually appealing. No clunky font used on the UI. and if I want other font, I could just simply install it as usual, with GUI.
The point is, Linux can be used for non-technical user when we've set it up correctly. YMMV
PS:
My gf has been using Kubuntu for about.. hmm last time I managed to configure her broadcom was like August 2005. Wow, that's _almost_ a year;). Yet, I've receive no significant complain other than: How to make new slide in OOo Impress?:p
There is one time I start 'hating' Opera. Any of you remember the Opera swimming incident? That was so cheap. It's like the incident was made in purpose so that the swimming never gonna be happening. I don't buy such reason!
Funny, I was impressed by the WYSIWYG editor the first time I see it and install its beta on my localhost. Now that I've use it several times on my localhsot, and even tried to mimick the same behaviour by installing tinyMCE plugin for my wp 1.5.x
What should you do if you want to tweak the HTML in your editor? Of course, switch to HTML view. And then you'll just edit the HTML rite? Wrong! You have to parse your HTML spaghetti (it's like a long line of HTML code without any line break) yourself, and then locating the point in which you want to edit or insert your own markup.
What about "code" formatting? I cannot recall how bad it was, but I prefer the old add-manual-code-tag method. I use that method with geshi, disabled auto tag completion (closing), thus I can get a fancy colorful code markup. Still, with a lil bit deficiency: double quote and single quote are translated into fancy one.
Til now, I still use 1.5.x. I'm still looking for more reason to move to 2.x, beside those ajax stuves.
