Linux will never rule the desktop, and here's why:
,----[ Quote ]
| If you draw a line giving the rate at which Linux is taking over the desktop
| you'll see it'll take several years from now to become the biggest operating
| system on desktops.
|
| This is never going to happen, because the desktop as it is will die long
| before we reach this point.
| The good thing is Microsoft will probably die with it!
|
| [...]
|
| As hardware will keep getting cheaper and cheaper and smaller and smaller in
| the coming years, I don't see any application left for PC's so the desktop
| will probably die. And guess what will be running on 90% of the dedicated
| devices? Most probably it's a version of a certain free and flexible open
| source operating system.
|
| I can't wait for the year the desktop dies!

There is now a $200 sub-notebooks running GNU/Linux and ARM-based ones will be
much cheaper.

Ballmer: GNU/Linux Will Win on Netbooks

| I think this is a very frank analysis of the problem for Microsoft: after
| all, who's going to pay extra money just to get the Windows logo on a
| netbook, when they can get the same features for less with free software...?
