- 1Of course things may change in the future. My question is about how the world is now and why it hasn't already reflected his predictions.– RobzCommentedMar 21, 2012 at 23:28
- Those reasons have all ready been listed by others, I'm giving you an alternative view, as part of any healthy discussion all perspectives should be at least considered. Live long and prosper my friend.– DarknightCommentedMar 22, 2012 at 9:10
- About 3, the difference is that the GNU Operating System specifically isn't relevant anymore. Nobody uses the GNU Hurd kernel, and if you remove all GNU userspace tools from Linux or OS X desktops, most people wouldn't even notice. If you look at other successful deployments of open source OSs (e.g. Linux-based routers and Android) most of them don't depend on GNU components either. There are many GNU tools that are very popular and useful, yes, but they are far from being part of the "operating system" people use.– ehabkostCommentedMar 23, 2012 at 11:52

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
