Opinion: Competing Trends are Creating an Opening for Linux

| Vista faces problems here. Cheap hardware becomes impossible if the operating

| requirements. Linux is free.

| All in all, the use of small mobile device will not stop any when soon. The
| ubiquitousness of high speed web access will catalyze even more the entry of
| all sorts of small mobile devices. But who will get the fruits of such
| thing - depends on applications and their vendors.

After the Desktop -- What?
,----[ Quote ]
| I would suggest that the open source community should stop obsessing
| with the battle for the desktop, and start focusing on the battle for
| the platform that will replace it. As I have said before, the day
| will soon come when the notion of having to go to a particular
| machine on a particular room every time you need access to
| information or computer power will be as obsolete as the notion
| of having to go to the hand pump over the well in the front
| yard every time you need water.

| handset manufacturers can be explained on several fronts, McPherson said.
