Linux to Become #2 on the Desktop?

Posted by michael on from the tell-me-something-i-don't-know dept.

DiZASTiX writes "An article from Zdnet says Linux on the desktop has become a reality. It is now possible, for example, to buy a Linux-based PC (running LindowsOS) from Evesham. In the United States, Wal-Mart sells machines based on Lindows, Mandrake Linux and others. But though Linux may have its foot in the door, taking the next step to becoming a mainstream success is proving a more difficult proposition."

    Why is the parrent modded down? It's unfair!

    The author just said his prediction which (s)he's done short and logically.

    Mod-downs of brain-washed mac zealots becomes really annoying on ./ and I afraid ./ may begin to loose professional readers and become as a sold-off Mac-singing marketing channel.
