Why should Linux aim for the desktop?
,----[ Quote ]
| It is my personal opinion that Linux should be targeting the desktop. My
| reasons are that, due to the way the operating system is designed, depending
| on how the distribution is configured, Linux for the desktop is inherently
| more stable and secure than the average configured windows desktop
| installation. Maintenance and support of desktop Linux systems are more
| straight forward and are easier to remotely maintain without interrupting the
| end users work. It is harder for amateur malicious programs to gain a
| foothold in the guts of the operating system. At worst they will just mess up
| the users home directory, not the core operating system. Program and security
| updates are automatically managed across all installed programs from the
| official repositories which leaves less to chance for malicious programs to
| fall through operating system cracks.

Cost is just a part of the value equation

| There is a two-horse race in the market, wherein one segment is dominated by
| the Windows platform while the other caters to the Linux platform in terms of
| market share, unit shipment, revenue, etc. If you look at Linux, Red Hat has
| pretty much emerged as the biggest player in this space and, depending upon
| which geography you are in, the numbers are as high as 95%.
