The Dream of Linux on the Desktop Dies

Not too long ago in Information Week magazine, I read an announcement from RedHat that they would end development and support for a desktop version of Linux. That's quite a blow to the effort if you ask me.

"The desktop market suffers from having one dominant vendor, and some people still perceive that today's Linux desktops simply don't provide a practical alternative."

The quote rings true. And anyone that isn't happy with Microsoft's offering, is probably more inclined to go to Apple than to Linux.
