I always ask, "What Would John Wayne Do?", not what some mythical, magic entity would do. John Wayne gives me a concrete methodology to apply to circumstances while by-passing the more nebulous, mythical 'jesus' entity...I can watch movies to verify. I do not even have to contemplate the 'trinity' styled false dichotomy.
It's a beautiful thing, 'What Would John Wayne Do', and it never lets you down...as long as you have a six-shooter and horse!
Note: We can offer 'proof'/evidence that John Wayne existed and interacted in our world, while that is sorely lacking with regards to this 'jesus' character...Just saying...

Damn! I did not mean to conflate the two, but it just seemed to happen 'naturally' in this current environment.
UNIX (and yes, kids, Linux is a UNIX, or at least a UNIX clone, despite the amount that most people who use it seem to wish it wasn't) was originally developed as a system to allow mechanical automation at a phone company.
If that doesn't sound like a system which was designed with Homer Simpson and pretty GUIs in mind, there's a reason for that; namely, that it wasn't.
Linux was developed to be a 'free' Minix clone, and not directly a Unix clone. Yes, Minix was based on Unix, but that is actually obfuscating the issue with pedantry.
Linux was not intended to be a Homer Simpson friendly OS, which I never claimed it was.
GNU/Linux was never intended to be a Unix clone. Linux is just the kernel, which was based on Minix, which was a Unix-like microkernel based OS made for educational purposes...not as a direct Unix replacement.
Linus Torvalds got as far as the Linux kernel, then turned it loose on the OSS crowd to help contribute.
GNU/Linux rose from that, and has evolved to it's present numerous distro's available today. Hint: GNU==GNU is Not Unix!!!
Ubuntu is trying to force Linux to do things which Windows does, by mimicking Windows' methodology, when perhaps what Ubuntu's developers don't realise is that Windows was an example of exceptionally bad engineering and computer science in the first place.
That is your opinion/assertion, and not shared by all of the GNU/Linux community. I find your opinion suspect since you insist on equating GNU/Linux is a Unix 'wannabe'...and it is not.
Get a copy of Morgan Spurlock's film, "Super Size Me," and then realise that Ubuntu is McLinux.
Fsck spurlock and his opinions. I have no interest in his films or opinions. Again that crap is all just your biased opinion showing, which I still find spurious, showing a 'I have an agenda' bias.
Ubuntu is not UNIX, and Debian isn't either.
That seems to be the only thing we can agree on here. If I had wanted to run Unix, I would damned well be running Unix now, not Kubuntu. I do, and have known the difference for a long time now, and have made my choice.
Just because you have a different opinion does not invalidate anything I have said, or think. It's just your opinion, which I don't agree with...nothing more.
GNU/Linux FTW!!!!
Ubuntu is just GNU/Linux made easier for the beginner GNU/Linux user while still sticking to the GNU/Linux philosophy, not a 'windows clone' for wannabe Unix users. There is a big difference in underlying philosophies between the two. Hint:compare GNU/Linux being GPL2(+), compared to the BSD license. The underlying philosophies come through on this level. Also look at the differences of opinions of Linus Torvalds, Theo de Raadt, and Richard M. Stallman on the whole *nix can of worms.
Again, like I mentioned in an earlier comment in this thread, it is like comparing farm tractors to submarines. The only 'valid' comparison is that both do as they were designed to do.
If it directly breaks patent laws, or infringes on copyright, then I would say no*. If it does neither, then yes, and fsck the 'trade secrets' type BS. If it is truly a valid 'trade secret', then you can cover it with a patent, or it will fall under copyright, or trademark. The problem is trying to apply IP law to spurious shit that is claimed to be a 'trade secret' that really is not applicable in that situation.
*Having said that, I do not mean to imply that to do so is 'wrong' by my philosophy of current IP laws. You can always 'follow your heart' and deal with any consequences, you might even bring reform about. Obviously, YMMV.
Your example would probably be taken care of with either/or patent(s), copyright, trademark, or some combination of those that are already addressed by current IP laws. A NDA is not needed in that case.
Bottom line: They will have my loyalty while they pay my wages, but no longer than that.
However, where does that put Linux in the marketplace? Most users don't want complete control over their computers and could care less about it.
You actually answered your own question right there.
There is a weird phenomenon happening with this so called 'war between Linux and Windows' for 'world desktop domination'. Linux doesn't care. It's all smoke and mirrors by proprietary developers/vendors marketing departments, or some misguided *nix zealots[Oh, the Irony!!!].
I've never been in the position where I had to say, "If only I had a tool that does..." Every time I have been in that situation, a few minutes on Google has pointed the way.
Ahh, but that ability for those that can program, and do so is what enables you to have access to those tools/apps/etc...
See, you are still approaching it from a perspective that hides the 'nature' of Linux. Bottom line: If end user freedom is more important, then Linux is your friend. If deploying it in a business, then Linux may be your friend, neutral, or the enemy. Depends on too many variables to be categorised easily. If developing proprietary software where your end user has no control, then Linux is definitely your enemy.
What you're trying to achieve, and how you are willing to go about it will change your perspective accordingly.
That's what Mark S. is trying to say here...Linux should not be 'another' Windows. He is betting that enough people out there are willing to 'buy into' the end user freedom is important camp...not trying to 'battle' Microsoft. He has made it easier for Windows users to switch, but is only willing to go so far with that so as to keep the Linux philosophy of end user freedom.
I do not expect Linux to ever take over the desktop market, whether in business/offices or at home. For it to do so, it will have to become more like Windows enough to 'break' the core Linux philosophy enough to make it not-Linux...more proprietary vendor/developer friendly, which would be against end user freedoms.
Linux , as long as it remains 'true to itself' will always have a smaller user base, as the user base will consist mostly of those that value Linux for being Linux and not [insert proprietary OS here].
I work in IT and deal with users all the time. They don't care what the operating system is. They care whether or not their applications work.
Linux is not aimed at this class of users/IT support models, except in a small number of cases. It depends on how your IT support is set up, and the apps the users need. Some businesses/offices can use Linux/FOSS exclusively just fine, some can use a mix, some cannot use it at all(without massive and expensive changes).
I personally use Kubuntu exclusively. I have several 100% legal and legit copies of XP Pro, Vista Enterprise, and MS Office 2007 sitting on a University server, collecting dust. I just have no use for them, as everything I need and want to do with my computer I can easily do with Kubuntu, at work and at home. That's not to say that my way is the only way. All it says is that it is my way, and is what works for me...which is all I really care about.
I have no need or desire to convert the world to my way, and would[and I do] resist the efforts of others to do so to me.
For my needs, using my criteria, Linux is 'better' than Windows or OSX. For me, not for everyone else...
Does any of this answer your questions? If I just muddied the waters even more, sorry, not intended.
There isn't anything that Linux can do that OSX or Windows can't.
Looking at it through your narrow window is your deficiency, not a Linux deficiency.
One thing Linux can do that OSX and Windows can't do, is give the end user freedom to do as pleased with the OS, make source code available for modding, adding/removing functions, etc.
This was the main reason for Linux to come about in the first place.
This is what Mark S. is trying to say. Linux can never be like windows, and still remain Linux. Their 'philosophies' are diametrically opposed. Windows and Mac OS are both proprietary with the developer/vendor wanting to remain completely in control of the OS. Linux is by it's very nature hostile to anything but full end user control of the OS.
That's why tha vast majority of this whole thread is 'off topic' trying to compare Linux with Windows. It makes about as much sense as comparing a farm tractor to a submarine.
The only valid comparison is that both do what they were designed to do.
Rabbits have a simple two chamber ruminant stomach so they cannot digest cellulose in one pass
No, that is completely wrong.
Rabbits have a single chambered stomach, just like you do. Where they are different is that rabbits have an overly large cecum, where fermentation/digestion of cellulose occur. This is also exactly the way a horse digestive system works. You also have a cecum, just comparatively much smaller. This would also make you a ruminant by your 'understanding' of rabbits.
