This tells me, that as soon Linux/OSS takes "in" the Desktop computing sector, the better...

Because those filthy liars will never stop until they are "DEAD"...

Linux/OSS needs badly that the freedesktop.org iniciative, or a similar iniciative, be integrated with the Open Standards LSB... soon.

That will be to Microsoft worst than rat poison is to rats.

Merging the Free Desktop standards (which are mostly good) with the LSB (which is slightly less good, but still okay) doesn't solve anything.

What's needed is code that actually implements those standards. Merging two standards groups doesn't write code, it makes one really big hard-to-follow standard.

Good enough too...

So you will have from Open Standards Group, LSB and a more desktop centered Freedesktop(or whatever), and both will work toghether...

"INTEROPERATION" of all standards is the key word of sucess.
