Side notes:
Oracle University is still using GNOME 2.20 for its desktop PC UI. Who
wanted GNOME 3? What testing/studies show the changes were needed or were an
improvement to usability or productivity? Who is paying for PC's with GNOME
3 shell? Could Redhat sell a PC with it? Redhat nor Canonical aren't even
trying.
IBM had/has so much consumption/expenses that some of its vendors are still
using Lotus Notes for email. (Use our software or we won't recommend you as a
vendor to our employees). To get companies entrenched in competing software
it takes a critical mass such as the size of IBM. IBM still isn't an HP,
Dell, Lenovo, or Apple when it comes to business desktop PC sales.
