There are two main reasons why Linux won't take over on the traditional PC after Windows:

1) There is too much invested into Windows.
2) Most PCs will be replaced by terminals before Linux can take over.

The article makes its conclusions on false facts. For instance, Linux supports more non-Intel hardware than both Windows Me and Windows 2000, and there is lot of Linux-compatible hardware out there that Windows will never install on.

Mass deployment is an area where the Linux OS is very strong, which also explains why Linux is used in so many appliances.
