"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. http://slashdot.org/articles/04/01/21/059256.shtml?tid=106&tid=126&tid=163&t id=185&tid=187 Press Release: http://www.osdl.org/newsroom/press_releases/2004/2004_01_20_beaverton_dci.ht ml 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.
