The death of Linux and other predictions
,----[ Quote ]
| Firstly, this is NOT the year of Linux on
| the desktop, because frankly it has been on
| the desktop many years already. Read my
| recent article: Why Linux on the Desktop is
| Wrong! So can we lay to rest the phrase "the
| year of the desktop" and all variations? May
| it rest in peace!
|
| Secondly, the desktop is NOT dying because
| someone came up with another clever idea.
| People sliding their greasy fingers all over
| their iPad touch screen while drinking
| coffee isn't going to somehow end people
| sitting at a desk and typing on a keyboard.

How to switch your small or home office to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| With Linux and free software making a name
| for itself in the world of big business,
| many people are testing the feasibility of
| switching small and home office software to
| their open source equivalents.
|
| Regardless of how you feel about the Linux
| desktop, this is one area in which Linux can
| have a real impact, both financially and
| productively, and any small or home office
| has the potential to be transformed by just
| switching one application or two to their
| open source equivalents.
|
| [...]
|
| Free software is full of alternatives,
| because developers like choice. And because
| the code that's used to create this software
| is open, once one application has invented a
| new kind of wheel, you often find its open
| source competitors catching up and providing
| many of the same features.

10 Things Linux Does Better Than Windows
,----[ Quote ]
| In the computer hardware world, certain
| segments are saturated with choice, while
| others are not. Take graphics cards for
| example. For the most part, it's AMD (ATI) vs.
| NVIDIA. For CPU's, AMD vs. Intel. For CPU
| coolers... ugh, where to begin. We'd need at
| least a billion "vs." for that one! Then there
| are operating systems, where like GPU's and
| CPU's, the choices of major vendor are slim.
