That is the point, there is no war.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving and that is your own self. --- Aldous Huxley

Be the change you want to see in the world. --- Ghandi

The only way something gets mainstream is people falling in love for it. We can't push OpenOffice down everybody's throats. IBM got big because they seduced their millions of customers somehow.

The auspicious path is we keep developing our platform here. If it's good, some day people will acknowledge that, and start to use the thing.

Unless... I would like to know from Nokia: do we have to be afraid about Maemo and the NITs fail if they don't gather more users soon? Or have we actually found a nice and honest niche product that can continue to exist even tough it doesn't have millions of users?... Are we in that situation of having to grow not to die? (In portuguese we sometimes say a company has to "crescer para não morrer".)

Today there is no war. There is just people opting out for one or another product, and we are lucky enough that the companies are managing to offer different products to different people. Is that scenario at risk? In this case, then I can agree we could try to do something to make the NITs more pop. Unless it's "selling out" too much. In this case I would try to move on to something like Pandora, I don't know....
