Read this on OSNews, and I'm still laughing.
A resurgent Apple is bad news for Linux. It sucks up that OS' oxygen, not that it has much to talk about in the first place...
Heh, that's where I got it. Glad to be talking to a fellow techie.
Honestly, I think MS is on it's path to swifly lose userbase.(marketshare is a different story) They keep treating security as a feature. It's not a feature, it's a process. As things keep building up.... Hp is starting to offer linux in the non-server space for example.(laptops) The biggest hurdle is getting at least one linux box into the mainstream.(your circuit city's, best buy's, and so on) Not only that, but users of older machines who want to end their problems with spywares are a natural fit for free software. Linux is lighter in weight than windows as a general rule of thumb.
It'll be a while before(if) Linux surpasses the mac on the desktop as the #2 OS in the USA, but worldwide the mac is #3. Between the sheer numbers of machines around and the free nature this was bound to happen.
