We cannot choose one desktop over the other - Gnome or KDE - because there's users for both code bases.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
OS X is sweet: it's simple and intuitive, and I think GNOME shares a lot of values with it.
We have only one Windows. We don't have multiple Windows. They run across multiple form factors, but it's one developer platform, one store, one tool chain for developers. And you adapt it for different screen sizes and different input and output.
People like rich applications on their desktop, and there is no reason why you can't have both a rich desktop and a light, cloud-based application framework. Why is it always either/or for people?
We have a lot of existing customers which are also considering Linux desktop migrations and rolling out some of these programs, so we're learning from them.
In the GNOME project we tried to keep the platform language independent.
Ubuntu is doing amazing things, and I think it's going to change the face of the desktop.
The calmer and more well-ordered my desktop is, the more I can convince myself I'm on top of things.
It may be that other developers are finding that their games play better on one platform over the other, so they're choosing to migrate to that platform.
Mobile is a lot closer to TV than it is to desktop.
Microsoft has a monopoly over the desktop operating systems.
