Michael Farnum discusses how Novell can make GNU/Linux a serious contender in the desktop market. However, I strongly disagree with the author's assertion that apps need to be developed by mainstream vendors, as opposed to Joe Hacker working in his basement. Linus wasn't a mainstream vendor when he started hacking out Linux. The GNU tools were not developed by mainstream vendors. And I sure hope Michael doesn't mean we need more non-free crap. Weigh it for yourself, though.
