From an article by a Linux backer:

<< OK, it's official: Linux on the desktop is dead.

Oh, sure, the corpse is still kicking around a little, and there's some debate about whether the patient is officially dead. But all we're waiting for now is the official death certificate from the coroner.

The recent death of Eazel, as well as Corel's inability to practically give away the desktop-oriented Corel Linux, are two strong indications that there isn't an acceptable rate of return on Linux desktop development. (Plus, a leading Linux distribution that put a lot of resources into desktop Linux will shortly be announcing staff layoffs and budgetary cutbacks.) >>
