Evaluating prospects for Linux growth in 2008 (ars technica)
[Posted January 4, 2008 by ris]
It may not be the Year of the Linux Desktop, but
this
article has some predictions for growth in 2008. "
Vast legions
of open-source software enthusiasts and industry analysts eagerly proclaim
every twelve months that the elusive Year of the Linux Desktop is finally
upon us. These prognosticators imagine scenarios in which the disgruntled
techno-proletariat casts off the grim shackles of Microsoft oppression and
embraces the sweet liberation of peerless, penguin-powered performance and
productivity. Although these prophecies have obviously yet to be fulfilled
and Linux adoption on the desktop remains limited, the open-source OS is
rapidly gaining immense traction in the mobile and embedded space."
