Subject: [9fans] off-topic: why linux lost the desktop
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:49:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201210171949.q9HJnfon003990@skeeve.com> (raw)

Having lived through the Unix wars of the 80s and 90s, it's the same
story all over again.
(Or maybe the story never ended. Either way, the users are the ones who lost
out.)
