A simplified formula that demonstrates why Linux and related software will always be a niche. Credit goes to an Anonymous poster of Linux Hater’s Blog!

“Starting from behind + moving target + a development methodology that’s slower than your competitors’ = FAIL.”

The examples of this are in abundance; OpenOffice versus Microsoft Office, GIMP versus Photoshop, Clonezilla versus Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost. FOSS always seems to be a “day late and a dollar short.”
