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

Why do you want to kill Longhorn ? Users are free to (not) use GNUstep and
desktop based on it.
I don't care if this desktop have only 10 users but if it feets my needs.

It can kill us all thats why. MS is going to take over the
whole world! Take for example the internet. I have to use MS IE
to access my bank account online because thats the only browser
that will work. Imagine having to use MS in your tv, In your
office, in the supermarket, in your car. How about online
movies that can only be viewed by Media Player? How about
public documents that can only be viewed using MS office. How
about hardware that only has MS only drivers, What then? Im
scared of Longhorn.


The other reason is economic. I am paid to write software running on linux. In an MS dominated market I dont think I will survive. Longhorn must die or be obsolete when it is released.
