Re: major distros?

of course. however not every corporation chooses the same technologies for various reasons (some good, some not so good). because an OS is not a final product for one specific person, group or company, the whole "companies will only use one thing internally anyways" argument is bunk as a reason to limit choice as to what is available.

as long as interoperability and Freedom are maintained at the highest levels, then allowing entities to choose what works best for them (and then stick to it for as long as they wish) is a great selling point. it offers "best fit" scenarios, built-in (friendly) competition and a failsafe (if one desktop stops meeting our needs......)

a good analogy may be gleaned from asking yourself why there are so many different types of vehicles on the road (sedan, coup, SUV, pickup truck, semi, etc).
