Linux won't "win" the Desktop until there is a generational leap over other OSes. Linux can't win because everyone else can see what Linux programmers are programming and can copy all the ideas, if not the code outright.
I love Linux, don't get me wrong, but it's always going to be a second banana for the consumer.
- liuliu 17y agoI don't see any impact from "commercial" software to Linux. As all the commercial software turns to online service, you have to pay monthly fee in order to use the service. Linux will dominate the network market as it was done in embedded system market because it can easily be customized. Any software value on the customized distro (browser, email or IM) is included in the hardware sales (like decades ago when we sold these "huge" computers).
