How Microsoft is loosing to GNU/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| 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."

| The future? The future will be ours, not theirs. Free Software and Free
| Culture will prevail, simply because people like to be treated with
| respect, not as cash cows and criminals.
