First, the people who are really driving linux ae not in a compitition
with m$. They are trying to create the best platform for computing that
they can. It just happens that they end up being compared to windows. They
certainly wish to be better and faster as this is one indication when they
are at least in the ball park.
As for getting in on the ground floor, I suppose you again can sit and
whine. Or you can go check out and offer what you can to help a project
out. All the talk of getting in on the ground floor though is kind of in
the face of reality. X windows has been arround for awhile now. Gnome has
been arround for awhile. It does happen that speech is being included on
the major re-write of gnome. There are many things being included that
previously weren't.
