Signposts of GNU/Linux Growth in 2007, Part 1 (Datamation)

Datamation takes a look at areas where Linux has gained ground in 2007. "As time goes by, appliances might inherit the important role of traditional desktops. Mobile and ultra-mobile devices could gradually replace laptops and servers to become more predominant owing to Web-based software, which also moves storage toward the back end. Let's explore how GNU/Linux fits this broader vision and discover just how ubiquitous it is, with growth consistently on the upside."

The author, Roy Schestowitz, just might not be one of those who "didn't consider Linux ready for desktop just a couple of years ago." Don't blame him for jupitermedia or internet.com (hint on the latter: Google astroturfing Reichard). :)

As opposed to the other kind of bad growth. (But perhaps he was just so busy emitting managementspeak cliches that he forgot what he was trying to say...)
