because the fact that we're not an end user final product doesn't mean
we're not a product at all, or a brand.

no, it's a desktop environment, which currently exists by default in
ubuntu and fedora core (amongst other minor distros).

not directly, but it wouldn't be bad if we pushed the "desktop linux"
brand, alongside with many other parties (kde, ubuntu, etc).

i repeat: the fact that we're not an end user final product doesn't
mean we're not a product at all.

we are a product, but more in the line of intel (like someone said)
than the line of firefox.
