I don't understand this, why is it everytime people come together it is a consortium? That's what a bunch of Linux Co.s are doing to promote desktop Linux.

Quote

Companies behind the Desktop Linux Consortium include several Linux sellers such as SuSE, MandrakeSoft, Lycoris, Xandros and ArkLinux; CodeWeavers, which sells software to help run Windows programs on Linux systems; OpenOffice, an open-source competitor to Microsoft Office; and the KDE user interface software.

Participants say the new consortium is in part a reaction to the behavior of one company not on the consortium's membership list: Lindows. Several of the desktop Linux companies withdrew from a Lindows-organized conference, accusing Lindows Chief Executive Michael Robertson of using the forum too much to promote his own company's wares.
