How Microsoft is losing to GNU/Linux
Submitted by libervisco on Wed, 2006-08-30 20:42

If "a year of GNU/Linux on the desktop" is defined as a year when
GNU/Linux has finally started its steady encroachment to the desktop
then 2006 is the year. A lot of users have started using GNU/Linux on
their desktops long before, but it is 2006 which marked the two probably
biggest GNU/Linux desktop releases to date, Ubuntu Dapper and Novell
SuSE 10. It is 2006 which marks the biggest opportunity for GNU/Linux to
steal the desktop market share from Windows due to the bad reputation
behind the pending Windows Vista release. And the eyes and focus of both
the GNU/Linux community and major GNU/Linux corporations such as Novell
are fixed on that opportunity. Novell marketing is true: "Your Linux is
ready."
