   I stumbled upon this @HarvardBiz article in my leadership/management bubble and would like to share it with the #foss #OpenSource community. Would love to hear your thoughts!

   I had mixed feelings while reading it. I wouldn't agree with many statements presented there. And then... (spoiler alert) at the end of the article... surprise....

     I'm an ex-Windows and ex-Mac user. I'm currently using #linux. With projects like @gnome the user interface and the user experience are comparable to Mac and very intuitive. No sophisticated technical knowledge is needed to navigate GNOME.

     Yes, it can still be improved, but let's compare the budget which was invested in both GNOME vs. Mac/Windows.

     "...there are also prominent (if less commonly cited) instances where open ecosystems failed to deliver on their promises. #Linux, an #opensource operating system more open than #Windows, has captured only a small market share in the desktop PC sector. It did well in the server market, but doesn’t offer intuitive user interface or a seamless user experience that may be appealing to the broad mass of the market. Specifically, the incentives weren’t there to really challenge Windows/Mac."

     ?!
