And on Ubuntu moving away from the rest of the Linux world, do you know what's the most popular OS that uses a Linux kernel and that will probably be the most popular OS period? It's Android. And besides the backing of Google, which definitely helped its popularity, given that other big companies tried variations of Linux on phones, you've got to wonder, aren't there technical reasons too for Android's popularity? And of course there are. Android maintains binary backwards compatibility. And Android simply skipped on all the X.org / GTK+ / Gnome / Qt / KDE cluster fuck. People complain about Android fragmentation, however compared to Linux on desktops, development for Android feels like you're in heaven.
