10 predictions for Linux and open source in 2009

,----[ Quote ]
| 2009 is here. And for people like me, that means it's time to put together 
| not a "year in review" but a "year in preview." 
| 
| I don't like to look back; I like to look ahead. So I offer you this list of 
| what I see in the year to come for the Linux operating system and open source 
| software.

Year Saw More Computers Leaping From Desktops to Pockets

,----[ Quote ]
| Beyond a phone and a camera, a tech traveler's baggage
| traditionally includes a laptop. But last year, that laptop
| was often replaced by a "netbook." These ultra-cheap,
| ultra-light machines (usually $300 or so and less than
| three pounds) ditch standard computing functions such as
| DVD playback to focus on Web access. The cheapest models in
| this category don't run Windows either, instead employing a
| version of the free, open-source Linux operating system.
|
| Yes, after a decade of predictions and wishes, Linux has
| hit the mass market -- giving Microsoft yet another
| headache.
