Itty-bitty, teeny-weeny Linux PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| Today's minitowers are going to be replaced by hardback-book-sized PCs. By 
| 2010, we're going to be looking at today's 6- and 7-pound laptops with the 
| same amazement as we now look at the KayPro II, the Osborne and the other 
| first-generation luggable computers. The day of the mini-Linux desktop is 
| coming, and it's coming soon.

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.

| Unit shipment growth was flat (0.0% growth) year over year in 4Q06, the
| tenth consecutive quarter of slowing overall shipment growth...

| After two consecutive quarters of single-digit revenue growth, Linux
| server revenue growth accelerated once again, growing 15.3% to $1.8
| billion when compared with 4Q05.
