RMS should by all rights be pretty happy: GNU replaced Unix on servers, and has made more progress on the desktop than Unix ever did.

I guess he never predicted that something that wasn't Unix would be the dominant OS. In essence, he chose the wrong enemy.

Can you imagine what the world would be like if RMS had created 'GNU's Not DOS' instead?

I sure do. In fact I'd written GND in my mind. But much like trying to write 'Linus' and not 'Linux', you have to really concentrate not to follow capital g, capital n, with capital u. :^)
