I'm still not being bated into this side discussion. I'm not that
interested if codeweavers made money or not, or does it establish
expertise in the area of desktop design and usage.

I will say, however, that I have many friends, associates and even
people I'm not so friendly with who have made money in the Free Software
space.

ipods have no desktop. But for the record, it was more of Apple's
financial resources to put the RIAA in line which made the IPOD happen
than any design. Otherwise, the IPOD would have went down the way of

I'm not being openly dismissive of it. Without getting into the tar pit
of W32 on GNU, I gave you specific reasons why I'm not a fan of WINE.
And I'm certainly not alone in this regard.

There are many applications that "get it done." A SuSE distro right off
the rack gets it done.

I classify this argument as simple, "All innovation is dead and the
customers want it that way".

I disagree. New markets are created every day and certainly products
that are familiar today, five years ago were radically different. Every
version of a software upgrade requires new training. Training on many
products is a continual and constant change.

It seems that in this market, the only company which has invested in the
marketing of new products and designs without flinching is surprisingly
enough Microsoft. With every major roll out they put out all the Shish
Boom Bah stuff necessary to gain the user base and invest in the
training to get it done. These products are clearly not easy to use. I
have the Video Doctor on TV every night pushing his product to teach you
those vital "Computer Skills" you need to become "Computer Literate".
So evidently these products are not easy to use, nor are they intuitive.

They are also prone to worms, crashing, problems with virtual memory,
licensing lock ins, cutting and pasting, networking and confusing
interface design.

There exists in todays market a real opportunity to market a better way.


But again, this is not the topic we are discussing.

CodeWeavers certainly has more than its share of dogmatic limitations,
but that is not the issue we are discussing either,

Actually, people DO run them, even office workers, government workers,
students, even some people on this list. Its pretty Ivory Tower to
claim that no one is using GNU desktops. That is ***obviously***
untrue.

When removing all the unnecessary rhetoric you make a valid point here
that without certain applications, GNU Desktop growth has a hurdle to
climb over. Your statement that there is no "Linux" software is
obviously unfounded. But there is a large reward awaiting the first
company which actually figures out that it need market GNU aggressively
the way that MS does, and in addition builds uniquely GNU superior
applications with the real power of X11R6, GTK, native TCP/IP, real
development tools and Unix plug ins, and liberal licensing. Perhaps
they will then advertise their truly modern system with a grey scale
commercial played at the Superbowl with a naked man running up a flight
of stairs and smashing a Big Green Apple! with a red MS over it.

Then - across the screen - GNU-SOFT - Because Freedom is Profit!


Good stuff ! Right!

Adobe won't go there because Adobe puts programmers in jail.

I don't think WINE is a solution. Otherwise there would be a greater
penetration in corporate offices of GNU systems, MS would have purchased
CodeWeavers already, and we would have had a relatively native version
of MS Office already.

Recognizing that the GNU Desktop is ready now is a better solution.
See, as a GNU user, I'm not interested if any particular company is
making money or not. I'm just interested in good and powerful products
for GNU systems.

GNU is more that %1 market share now. To my knowledge, GNU systems
(leading with Linux Kernel based systems) are already the second largest
installed desktop systems now, ahead of Apple.

http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/35688.html

Siemans was predicting a %20 share on 2008

I suggest you take a look at this article as well from a MS oriented
journal
http://www.redmondmag.com/columns/article.asp?EditorialsID=1245

This guy is 100% correct. GNU desktops are as ready as the businesses
with investments in GNU computers make them. But their superior
features and usability are technically there ***now***. In fact, the
desktop has been superior since probably W95.

Nue? So why promote disinformation by saying things like GNU/Linux is

Because their not trying. I've TALKED with the heads of IBM's technical
and marketing people, as well as Novels. In the case of Novel, I think
they're completely lost in a power struggle of the company and when they
get done, SuSE and Ximian might be the only thing left standing. But as
of now, their sales people and corporate folks seem to not be trained in
fundamentals of the desktop systems that they seemingly invested so much
money in.

In the case of IBM, they are targeted on Main Frame Sales and server
consulting services. In their view, a spoiling fight over desktop
dominance is something that they feel they don't do well. I love and
know people in both these companies, but that is a huge error on their
part, IMO.

I think the threat to turn over all of IBM's internal systems is an
interesting experiment on their part to see just what they can engineer
and achieve. We'll see what happens.

They don't need a "bridge". What they need an aggressive marketing
campaign and an huge investment in vertical markets where they do like
MS and bribe software vendors to switch to GNU systems through a
partnership.

There is that word slick again....

I just want my hardware to work. With GNU I have to be careful about
what I buy. With my old clients on W32, they have to be careful as
well, but they don't know that until plug an prey fails and their system
is trashed by the new DLLS applied by the new drivers.

Well then for either system the solution is the same. Your hire tech

I didn't mean to hit anything. Believe me, I'm as artful and a raging
American Bison an art museum. When I'm bruising, you'll be aware of it
;) On record I'll say the CodeWeavers does a lot of interesting work,
especially for a company of their size and they have earned a good niche
for themselves in the current economy while making an honest living.

> Frankly, I'm not interested in a bunch of theory about why Wine sucks

As I said, it doesn't matter the merits of Wine in the context of this
conversation. My issue was over the "Linux systems aren't ready"
message. It makes me grate. I'm very thankful and love my GNU
desktop. It does more for me then I could ever ask of any system and
you would have to remove it from my cold dead hand if you ever want to
take it away.
