'The Linux desktop is a complete blast'
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux desktop is a complete blast. This market just went to a
| million downloads. It's hot, it's cool, it's a lot less expensive,
| the kids are loving it. School systems have some great desktop
| operating systems -- it's also in kiosks, retail systems,
| point-of-sale systems. A lot of those systems are being refreshed
| now, so the best thing now is really lowering the cost of
| ownership, increasing return on investment. This is a great space,
| very strong selling. We're 95 per cent there as a viable alternative
| to anything else.
