Slashdot Mirror
What Lies Ahead For Linux
An anonymous reader writes "Here's an interview with Stacey Quandt, a Linux and open source industry analyst. She explains why she feels Linux will overtake Windows as the number one operating system within the next three years." There's some interesting tidbits on what it takes to be an industry analyst as well, and some looking back to when most analysts were unaware of Linux.
Did they include some pictures... it, uh... helps me with my advocacy. Oh, they did. h0t!
He wants his headline back.
I thought the Slashdot editors would have caught this mistake when they read the article...
;-)
Oh. Nevermind.
a Linux and open source industry analyst. She explains why she feels Linux will overtake Windows as the number one operating system within the next three years
Wow, what a revelation! Here's some more:
1. A Mac and OSX industry analyst explains why they feel Macintosh will overtake Windows.
2. A FreeBSD industry analyst explains why they feel BSD will overtake Windows.
3. An Amiga fan in his basement explains why they feel the Amiga will overtake Windows.
4. A slide-rule professor in a bunker on the island of Midway still thinks the war with Japan is still happening...how he got on this list I don't know....

well, once upon this time there was this guy who said "I don't have a physics background, I process patent applications..."
Wow, someone really had to pull their arm out of its socket for this back slapping out-of-context statement. Man the quality of Slashdot has turned to complete shite.
Can they possibly turn this site into any more of a pro-linux rag? Is it at all possible? I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
You can have that today, it is called Windows.

After a few years of every seeing the infamous "Linux on the desktop in ___ years!" every couple weeks, I start to read these stories like this:

Here's an interview with Stacey Quandt, a Linux and open source industry analyst. She explains why she feels Linux will overtake Windows--blah blah blah blah--skip to next story
Okay, I even add: Linux on the desktop? Haven't they used OS X yet?
I'm guessing that means the PS3 will be the one to take over windows' market share whenever it comes out.
I also always trust the unbiased, non-financially-motivated information on www-1.ibm.com/linux.
I'd rather be lucky than good.
...and they said they're running out of you!

Wow, slashdot has a new story saying how an analyst thinks linux will over take windows in the next 3 days.
Come on folks, I LOVE linux, but haven't we heard this song and dance before?

Funny, yes, insightful? I don't think so.
;) Although I seriously have never heard a FreeBSD fan claim that any BSD will dominate the desktop.
1. I've never seen a Mac or OS X proponent claim that Macs will be more popular than Windows. If that happened, they couldn't be the elitest jerks they enjoy being.
2. BSD is dying, right?
3. Some Amiga users actually believe that Amiga has overtaken Windows. They also think that they can fly and enjoy spending their time musing about the animated colors that adorn their walls while their friend takes another hit from the bong that they pooled their money to purchase.
4. What's a slide-rule professor? For that matter, what's a slide-rule? I enjoyed Mortal Kombat by Midway though, so your props are deserved. They're actually a US company, by the way, even though they developed for Nintendo.

Actually, I found the best way to get monitor information was to download the Windows driver, crack it open in notepad, and crib them....
