I liked OS/2, but I had to ditch them at Warp :{ Too many applications required 95 by that point.

Write/Port software, and people will come.But get started with Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, Filezilla, VLC Player, etc... and the rest will follow.

Completely agree. It's common sense for all those who want to see a open-source desktop to put their weight behind this as it's a single OS/distro. Port all the popular apps, drivers, etc. and the users will come.
