| Not only giant computer makers are adopting Linux, but also government
institutions, schools, and businesses from different countries. Indeed Linux
has gone mainstream, and it's not finished yet. However, I don't want to
predict right now that it's going to kick Microsoft Windows' fat ass and go
beyond its market share in the near future. One thing is for sure though,
Linux is here to stay, and it's here to rule.
