You started this thread demanding unification of the desktop, and it turned into a discussion about branding. If you're going to unify, you'd better start by appealing to the people you want to unificate, and you're going to have to wean them from their existing brands. The rest of your post is boring, unsubstantiated FUD. Open source is successful because of exactly the reasons you claim it's not: that everyone can do what they want and take an idea in the direction they want to. You talk about unification like it's going to achieve something. When the world is unified, we'll all be wearing grey suits, with a dark sandy-beige skin colour, eating risk free healthy broth, and there will only be one sex. I look forward to the desktop operating system of the future! -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
