KDE and GNOME collaborating on free desktop promotion (NewsForge)

[Posted February 20, 2006 by ris]

NewsForge takes a look at collaboration between desktops. "KDE and GNOME undeniably occupy a very small share of the desktop market. If GNOME took 20% of that share from KDE, it'd make a marginal gain. But if KDE and GNOME together took a 10% of the desktop market by 2010 (a stated goal of the GNOME marketing project), they'd both gain a massive amount."

Cannot stop but to congratulate both KDE and Gnome

The only remark is why it took so long to achieve one of the most simple arithmetic that can be, about desktop share market!

I mean ?#$$!!! paid astroturfing for M$, in this website and many others, as been having vacations all this time!
