The most important thing is continue defining and promoting LSB.
We need drivers that are LSB versioned, NOT versioned by distribution version. We also need driver systems that are backwards compatible so they can load old drivers. And of course we need better coverage in general for LSB so that applications install and run under all desktops / distributions. We need the application interaction with the desktop the same across all Desktop environments (Portland Project). We need a common printer driver repository so that we can download new printer drivers from the net, no hassles. Well repositories for all kinds of drivers.

Well, all these things are in progress!!! Without them, Windows will continue to dominate.
