Give Linux another 4-6 years and it will be a top notch operating system that will knock Microsoft for a loop. At this time it is still too heavy handed but it is getting better.

You are talking about Linux on the desktop.

Linux/Apache is already the number one webserver on the Internet, by far.

The point of this article is that Linux is already a dominant force in the embedded applications market - programs like the ones that run on the chips that run your car.

The embedded market is where the real growth potential is over the next decade, as more and more consumer products incorporate processors to perform taks that used to be performed mechanically.

Linux already is a top notch operating system. What you meant to say that in a few years it will be dumbed down to the point that even clods whose computer experience is surfing for pr0n and reading email will find it easy to install and use.
