Re: OT: Novell Linux Desktop update

And make what decision? Distributions can only work with what the community produces.

Are we asking for a top-down marketplace? I'm not. There is a big one ready to go in Windows, where you wait for the top to lead or follow. The natural monopoly because there is room for only one vendor. One vendor who will still be in business in 4 years.

I like the free marketplace that has developed around free software. It isn't ordered, or even doesn't make sense, but there is opportunity for everyone. The most important metric isn't market share, but contributor share.
