The year of the Linux desktop!
,----[ Quote ]
| You'll see these words in more than one article penned by the pundits.
| Every year since about 2003 has been called the year of the Linux
| desktop - and then, when that fails to transpire, those who predict
| these things set about rehashing their predictions for the next year.

Next Gen, Mission-Critical Apps To Be Deployed on Linux Says Report
,----[ Quote ]
| By now it should be obvious to even the most casual industry observers
| that Linux operating systems - and open source-based software in general -
| have reached critical marketplace mass. Recent Linux deals and
| announcements by Oracle and Microsoft have only reinforced the "open
| source is enterprise-grade" message that IBM, Unisys and other "Master
| Brand" hardware, software and services vendors have been preaching for
| years. In short, open source, especially Linux, is becoming "legitimized"
| by the major vendors for enterprise environments, and user executives
| are more than happy to believe them.
