| Sure, it’s been said before, but this time it’s true: 2007 was undoubtedly 
| the year which saw Linux go mainstream. Linux has long accepted as a server 
| platform and a playground for tweakers, hackers and the adventurous, but 2007 
| saw major events which entrenched Linux on the desktop. Let’s look at what 
| happened.

Survey Says … Linux Desktop Is Ever More Popular

,----[ Quote ]
| The first thing we can say about the Linux desktop in 2007 is that there are 
| more users than ever. The Linux Foundation 2006 survey had fewer than 10,000 
| people signing in. This year more than 20,000 Linux desktop users reported 
| in.

| Okay, now lets tie this all back in together. Novell claimed several months 
| back in a video ad that Desktop Linux users accounted for upwards of 
| 30,000,000 different people. That's 30 million. Recent statements made by 
| some Novell representatives indicate that they expect there are upwards of 
| 50,000,000 Desktop Linux users. Microsoft has never contested the number of 
| Desktop Linux users, and if anything the deal Microsoft signed with Novell 
| was tacit agreement that Microsoft believed those numbers to be accurate.

Signposts of GNU/Linux Growth in 2007, Part 1

,----[ Quote ]
| It is sometimes forgotten that GNU/Linux is more than just a desktop 
| operating system. Linux, being a well-engineered kernel, is used extensively 
| and also funded for its important role in several different areas of 
| computing. One needs to look for evidence of growth not only in desktops. 
| Judgment must be based on multiple areas where GNU/Linux gains traction.
