IBM Linux chief: Chasing desktop Windows a 'dead-end'
,----[ Quote ]
| Sutor drew up several possible futures for the Linux
| desktop in the years ahead, including Linux going away
| altogether, one distribution dominating Linux desktops,
| one distro dominating all desktops, Linux reaching
| parity with Microsoft and Apple, and desktop Linux
| disappearing altogether and making the whole issue
| moot.

The Possible Futures of the Linux Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| "I think trying to make it a complete drop-in
| replacement is a dead-end strategy," Sutor said.
| "They've got a little bit more money, and even more
| important than that is they've got the market share and
| the mind share."
|
| Instead, Sutor said he sees Linux's impact on the
| desktop being measured differently than its role in the
| cloud and in virtualization -- where he sees Linux
| truly dominating.

Possible futures for the Linux desktop â the full list from LinuxCon
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course I added a few spoken comments, but be certain
| of one thing: the Linux desktop is not to be discounted
| and, as I list as the fith possibility, it could end up
| with sizable marketshare:
|
| 1. It goes away.
| 2. We stop using desktops, so who cares?
| 3. The Linux desktop becomes a tactic instead of a
| strategy.
| 4. One Linux desktop distribution ends up with 90%
| marketshare among those using Linux desktops.
| 5. One Linux desktop distribution ends up with 90%
| marketshare among all desktops.
