"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.

Instead of lamenting the past its time to recognize the amazing accomplishment of Linux's

server market share and continue to build on that success," says Kevin Reichard.
