One analyst believes SuSE has a chance to yank away market share from Linux competitors such as RedHat inside large corporate accounts, but doesn't believe it can peel away Microsoft's desktop stranglehold.
"Among power users looking for lots of function out of the operating system, I don't think [SuSE Linux Desktop] is ready to compete in that arena. But among those people who do not need that level of capability and are ticked off by [Microsoft's] Licensing 6.0, I think this will be a good choice for them. I see the making some inroads with this," said Stephen O'Grady, an analyst at Redmonk in Hollis, N.H.
What on earth is it these *analysts" think IS actually supplied and WORKING on an MS desktop that can't be easily found and set up on a Linux one ??? -- j Talkin' to myself again; Wond'rin' if this travelin' is good.
