Meeks: Linux on the (consumer) Desktop

Here's a lengthy posting from Michael Meeks on the state of the desktop market. "The economics of an excessively cheap product are a difficult fit for the consumer market, and drain money from the ecosystem necessary to invest in development.

He suggests that the business desktop may be a better target for a Linux-based solution.
