We should consider we have established players in desktop and a trend towards Android, iOS, MeeGo etc. powered devices in the consumer space over a pure play Linux distro. We would have been better served in the traditional distro space in building on the traction we had with GNOME 2. After all, it finally was offering a fairly compelling alternative. My blog has more personal opinion on consumer behavior and desktop adoption - my belief is innovation should happen in the new platform space, not on traditional desktops. Throwing away 30 years of tradition is not actually what mainstream computing users want.

Horses even had a *much* longer tradition then the windows 95 style desktop ;)
