Will Novell's Desktop Linux Catch On?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday March 14, 2006 @01:28AM from the i'll-drink-to-that dept.

Laura writes "Novell says its newly released Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10(SLED) can replace Windows for the average office worker. But will enterprises embrace a widespread migration from Windows?" From the article: "The desktop market is a very mature market, and Microsoft has a very strong presence there, which makes it hard for customers to move off [...] However, Jeff Jaffe, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Novell, said at the SLED 10 launch Thursday he is fairly confident that if enterprises have a chance to kick the tires of the new desktop OS, mass migration from Windows is soon to follow."

Actually, I meant that I'd rather spend my nights drinking and getting laid instead of tinkering around with my computer to make it as functional as XP/2000 are out of the box. I don't play computer games (I assume "WOW" is a computer game).
