Problem is briefly this: corporations will only use what ever comes by default and is most supported. If i read this article correctly, KDE is losing this support - ximian guys have brainwashed management well enough. But on the other hand; how could they be this stupid, if KDE has most users?

Who gives a damn. Seriously.

If corporate support would be the key factor towards a useful product, I'd be running Microsoft Windows. But it isn't: KDE was useful long before corporations got interested, and will be useful for a long time after they've moved to GNOME or something else. It was never money that made KDE great, and in fact, some of the biggest screw-ups in our releases of the past were directly influenced by corporate interests.

In a world of increasing interoperability, market share is really not that important.
