I like the concept of "inflection point" and believe we just haven't seen it fully materialize with Linux yet. It's coming though, and I think Google will play a role in that moment of convergence. Perhaps the reason things that appear obvious or logical can never happen is that the barrier to jump on the bandwagon is too low. If everyone can jump on it, it will never happen. Perhaps, it just has to be something that comes out of left field. What could be more obvious than "open source software"? Why would anyone let a Microsoft dictate anything, if they didn't have to? But how come it hasn't happened for Open Source Software?
