One cannot really satisfy the needs of Consumer and Corporate userspace with a single solution. Being good at the Corporate/Technical product delivery is in the mid to long term much more profitable than being good in consumer product delivery. With the development of and increasing focus on 'Cloud' solutions (where basic users effectively outsource their I.T. support requirements) and better internet connectivity, the basic consumer will eventually only need something which can run a browser (and we go full circle from the original ugly dumb terminal for a knowledgeable user to dumb but pretty terminal for the 'dumb' user).
Focussing on the consumer desktop is really in some ways looking at yesterdays problem....
So, the openSUSE focus is now on corporate users?
And whats about the countries that don't have fast internet connection available for all the people? Do you think that "Cloud" solution can be applied to this countries in the mid to long term?
That's a good point. But he wasn't really talking about openSUSE, but rather linux trends in general. In any case, I prefer in house computing, not cloud computing, trends be dammed! >:-P - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
