Quote by: Jack  If they had wanted to contribute to the open source community, they would have been better off adding their expertise to the Ubuntu community. Linux distributions are fractured enough already. There's no indication it will be able to run the apps that keep people tethered to Windows, like Photoshop. So it will turn out to be more of a rival to Ubuntu, Red Hat/Fedora and SUSE than to Windows at the expense of the open source movement. |
I was thinking the same thing, but at least around where I live, there arn't many computers sold with Linux OS's installed and either come with Mac or Windows. People around here have to manually put a Linux based OS on their systems.
Actually thinking about it, I kinda find it funny that in the report, there's not one mention of Mac, whom I would have thought would be the second largest OS supported around the world next to windows.
But indeed.... if there isn't much support for things like Photoshop, Maya, AutoCAD and video games for the younger folk.... I wouldn't expect much from this attempt and Windows will still be pretty dominate
