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.
This is indeed a classic case of Microsoft's greed coming back to bite em on the butt!
Even with its problems Linux is winning that battle because of Billy boy and his charge per seat mentality.
You're a communist! Only communists, Bill Clinton, and the Chinese use Linux! A true American patriot would only use Microsoft! </sarcasm>
