Scot Hacker's Be View on

Scot Hacker's Be View on the Palm thing. [thanks, rc3.org via MetaFilter (discussion)]

But the reality is that Be's failure has made a point to the world, to whit: Don't bother trying to create a better commercial desktop OS ? it doesn't matter how hard you try, how many engineers you throw at the problem, how much money you spend, or how many years you put into it. Microsoft owns that space and, worse, the public is totally complicit with that fact. People will not stop using Windows. It is a losing battle.
