[Desktop_architects] Cross-platform summary

[Otto Wyss]

I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't make sense to stay in this 
group since everything I can say is said. But before I leave I want to 
draw a summary about my participation:

- It seems I've utterly failed to achieve anything regarding fixing the 
top inhibitor of the Linux desktop adoption. You aren't willing to 
accept my suggestion but you also have no other suggestions. At least 
the failure isn't total since some of you agree that cross-platform is 
the way to go. Albeit I'm rather sceptical that this is enough to cause 
any action.

- It seems I've failed to achieve anything regarding fixing the top 
wished application e-mail. But I'm positive that the Thunderbird 
developers eventually realize what I said about the important user 
groups and I think they are able to make Thunderbird what it should be. 
Besides they have enough suggestions within their own support forums.

- It seems I've successfully achieved that the importance of Wine for 
large organizations during the transition time is recognized and it 
seems that at least here an action is or will be taken.

I haven't been able to discuss any other important issues for the 
success of the Linux desktop since it doesn't make sense as long as the 
cross-platform issue isn't safely on track. You seem to underestimate 
its importance and I seem unable to make you aware of it. Maybe it just 
needs some time until this idea can sink in. Therefore I think it's best 
for all of us if I leave now and let you work on what you think is best.

Good bye
O. Wyss
