Yes we could talk about old OSs like WIN95
which is now what??? As old as lets's say
LINUX??? And how many people rushed out
to get LINUX (for free even!) opposed to the
one's that bought Winxx . Is there enough
support (or money) to make LINUX compete
for a desktop OS position??? Get real! You need real money to develop, to
market and to support an OS. In order to do that you have to convince the
masses that it's USABLE! Let alone hope that software companies will follow
your lead. Kinda like Ellison's NC or for that matter Oracle as a whole. Just
ask ten people
off the street if they can spell Oracle let alone
LINUX. Then, if they can, ask them what
they are. Ask the same people about Winxx
and compare the results!
