As much as I've grown to like Linux the past year++ now & diff. models (systemd or not, latest kernel/desktop shell or not etc.)? This has potential to be a Linux competitor (or @ least an alternate of sorts).
The BIG thing Linux has (NOW @ least since I've used it on/off over time 1994 1999 2010 & the past year) IS decent software around it - FREE too & pretty HIGH quality imo @ least (finally - I didn't think that way in those older distros etc. in the past I noted - NOW I do).
This is HUGE & in Linux's favor now over this "NEW DOS" but that CAN change if enough folks "get into it"!
In fact, I personally feel that THAT IS WHAT KILLED OS/2 imo (& I used it 2.1-3.0 warp):
Not a large enough body of wares compared to DOS/Windows OR even NT based Windows.
You have to get (yes, what Ballmer said) "Developers, developers, developers" because "IF YOU BUILD IT they WILL come" per the film "Field of Dreams". If the wares are good, folks will use them.

Jim Hall - isn't HE a 'big name' in the OpenSores world too over time?
Correct me IF I am off/wrong - just "getting back into the 'swing of things'" the past year now in things *NIX &/or OpenSORES (yes, that's sarcasm - it has upsides & downsides too like anything HENCE why I state that BUT yet here I am USING it too - go figure!).

@ least I have balls & post under my own name ID'ing myself (no fakename online even) - you don't: Why? All YOU do is STALK & HARASS me by UNIDENTIFIABLE anonymous trollings + you're a DO-NOTHING obviously UNEDUCATED, UNSKILLED "ne'er-do-well" w/ NOTHING BETTER TO DO on your part...

Yes, it WAS YOU who posted it. Don't pull your usual bullshit of lying and pretending that someone impersonated you.
