My 2 cents on Linux: I suspect it might go the way of HP Vue. In 1991, I started using HP Vue, a nice interface that sat on top of UNIX and made a lot of things easier to do. When I got a new job in 1994 and we all had spanking new IBM AIX workstations, surprise, the operating system looked and acted a lot like Hp Vue. What had happened of course is that Sun, HP, IBM and a few others I forget had decided to adopt a common look and feel which the user interfaced with (the name for it escapes me). The flavours of UNIX were still there, but you didn't have them get in your way. It looked like the manufacturers had gone to great lengths to undo all the damage done by the existence of different versions of UNIX. I suspect a similar consortium(s?) will emerge for Linux to defeat Bill Gates principle advantage over open source. "How do you evolve and maintain a public operating system without the Tower of Babylon problem?" CD
