It happened again. Memory suddenly filled up, CPU goes crazy with all the writes to the swap file, I look through the twenty-some tabs I have open and sure enough...one of them is open to a @ZDNet page. Close the ZDNet tab, memory drops in half, CPU is resting comfortably.
That's only because the Linux Foundation doesn't want it. Funny, the Linux Foundation can justify going into every previously uncharted area when that's its desire, but mention helping the desktop just a wee little bit and you hear that's not it's mandate.

The LF doesn't initiate things like that. Typically a company brings something to the LF to start a new project. If RedHat or Canonical were to bring some desktop technology to the LF and fund a Desktop Linux project, I don't see any reason why the LF would reject it.

I've thought of that, but it's as likely as hitting the lottery when it's up to $400 million. Getting corporate funding for the desktop is a no starter since there's no profit in the Linux desktop. LF needs to divert a minuscule percent some of its funds for the good of Linux.
