Microsoft and Apple make money on desktop products.

But nobody else does.

Linux desktop survives due to volunteers. Linux server
make money but not desktop.

It requires thousands of developers top maintain
a competitive desktop environment.

MS can afford to pay thousands of developers
for desktop products as they make billions selling
desktop products.

Linux doesn't sell desktop products, but can rely
on volunteers to keep things working.

There is no way that VSI will sell enough VMS desktop products
to afford a major investment in such.

And there is no way that there will be enough volunteers
to develop this stuff for free.
