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."

    It may not be the most gramatically correct, but the point is one that should be heard loud and clear:
    Linux has had the power for so long, and the time is right to strike. Polish up a nice GUI which makes 95% of the command line unessesary and let's hit'em where it hurts most before they have a chance to try and bury us.
