What will it take for a GNUstep based Linux desktop to kill
Longhorn?

I have all of the faith in the world in GNUstep. I wouldn't have stuck with it
for several years now, if I didn't.

In short: It would take a *miracle* of massive proportions. :)

This is not because of anything having to do with GNUstep, but it is more related to the fact that people are so entrenched in their use of Windows. This has mostly to do with Greg's rule #1 and #4 which are:

1. 99% of the general public ( including some technical people ) are not
willing to learn anything new unless they absolutely must.
...
4. Given a set of technologies, the worst one of the group will almost always prevail since it is understandable to the lowest common denominator of people
(see rule #1).

Thats a marketing issue. Most of the users in the US and Europe
are entrenched in MS. But thats only a small fraction of the
worlds population. Most of the users in SEA use pirated MS
software.

Whats lacking in GNUstep to take on Longhorn when it comes put
in 2006? We have about a year more to do it. Dennis Leeuw and
Chad Hardin seems to be on the way to doing it.
