Why do you think Um, I don't think you presonally know why most linux kernel developers are working. Some work to make a technically superior OS. Some work for idealogical reasons. I suspect not many are "focused on bringing Linux to the attention of EVERY desktop user" because they are not interested in that. That's a job for someone in suits. And just because you think they shoudl be focussed on that doesn't mean they should be. -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ Brown's Theorem (Physics III student, Usyd): "The only thing that behaves like a billiard ball, is a billiard ball" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
