I agree. It's a bad article, and I think it has missed the point of why Firefox was successful. Asa Dotzler gave much more concrete advice for what Linux can learn from Firefox and do to be more successful: * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/008499.html * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2005/07/linux_not_ready_2.html * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2005/07/linux_not_ready_3.html * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2005/07/linux_not_ready_4.html * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2005/07/linux_not_ready_5.html * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2005/07/linux_not_ready_6.html * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2005/08/linux_not_ready_7.html * http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2005/08/linux_not_ready_8.html While one can disagree with what Dotzler writes, it is a better and more concrete writing than the article pointed by Gabor.
