The issue would not be to challenge M$ for ruling the desktop,
but rather keep a healthy desktop presence for VMS itself.
Linux would not be as successful as it is today if it
didn't start on the desktop. If it weren't able
to run on developer's desktop machines it would have remained
a side note of IT history. From there it scaled into
the datacentre. Just as Windoze did.
