Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?Posted Nov 13, 2008 19:13 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333)In reply to: Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter? by rahulsundaram Parent article: Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?
Yes.. The desktop still is critically important for Linux.
Right now Microsoft (according to common wisdom) controls the only viable platform for business desktop. Because of this they get more hardware support, more application support, more everything then Linux.
It fundamentally cripples the ability for Linux to compete in a huge and profitable market, even if your goal is to make money from servers. Microsoft has control of the desktop platform and because of this they are in a position to control how it operates and they use this to their advantage.
