LNUX could be the steal of the decade.....``Linux is on track to beat Microsoft regardless of what the Justice Department does,''
said Larry Augustin, chief executive of
VA Linux Systems Inc. (NasdaqNM:LNUX - news), a developer of systems and
services optimized for Linux in Sunnyvale,
Calif.

``I think that separating the company into an applications piece and an operating
systems piece though, could significantly
accelerate that, particularly since the applications piece of the company would have a
strong economic incentive to port Office
to Linux,'' Augustin said.

``If Microsoft Office ran on Linux immediately we would see Linux with a 10-15
percent share of the desktop operating system
market.''

Linux currently has an estimated 4 percent share of the desktop operating systems
market, which is primarily dominated by
Microsoft's Windows products.
