"Earlier today at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in New York, nonprofit
Open Source Development Labs announced the creation of a "Desktop Linux
Working Group initiative focused on greater use of Linux on desktops
throughout the enterprise." A press release is available on OSDL's website,
in addition to this Register article." It's all part of their non-secret
plan.

My summary: Since Linus Torvalds works for the OSDL now, this will have the
effect of unifying efforts to create a Linux desktop standard, which will
increase adoption of Linux as a desktop OS by enterprises, therefore opening
up new markets for IT services and leveling the Microsoft pyramid.
