It's the word on the street. Linux must be Windows. At least, if you listen to this guy: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/008499.html Many people these days are saying, "Linux must be on the desktop", and then saying, "therefore Linux must be Windows". I think, though, that there are ways of making Linux "not-a-computer-person"-friendly *and* "power-user"-friendly. And it would be vastly preferable to see Linux plow this territory rather than let the straitjackets in Redmond define the Linux OS. I can't wait to see how Symphony OS turns out.
