I agree to some extent. Just by being an open source and "free" is not going to cut it for Linux. M$ will just drown it with money. If Linux has any chance of becoming a viable platform that companies can invest money into, then it has to have more then open source, free, few die hard followers as it's slogan... and the magic word is "Money". If Gnome is the best that Linux can offer to attract Windoze users... then it is a sorry attempt.

Still... Linux is an excellent platform and with Larry's money and marketing behind it.... who knows... it may produce a winner in few years.
