This is true, but considering Linux market position, this is not acceptable if Linux really wants to become mainstream. Back in the day we had many Winamp clones. Some were arguably better, faster, lighter. Yet none of them took over. We have Spotify now. And it is nothing like Winamp. It's not enough for Linux to be on par with Windows. It's not enough even to be better on every possible aspect. It needs to be its own category that makes Windows obsolete. Good news is the technology moves with a rapid pace, and Windows is not as well equipped for the future as Linux.
