The desktop is dead, long live the desktop!
Linux on the desktop is dead. What a crock! How analysts can make such conclusions
based on the fact that two companies had trouble selling it is beyond me. Linux
didn't achieve its server success by relying on the success of its co-players. Why should
anyone believe that the desktop should be any different? It was only a couple of years ago
that these same analysts said Linux couldn't achieve a foothold in the server market,
and look where we are now. Rome was not built in a day, nor was Microsoft. While Linux
development is certainly fast, overnight results can't be expected. Get a grip folks. Don't let
the facade being presented fool you. Linux is not dead. Linux has already won the desktop.
Just that y'all don't realize it yet.
