Lars,

Suddenly you can see the water over the edge, and a short while after there is water all over.

I'm stairing straight at the faucet and all I see is a drip.

Sure, Linux is doing great on servers, UNIX has always had a majority of the server market. Windows is taking market share away from UNIX and some of the UNIX crowd is moving to Linux. That's fine and dandy and I don't think we'll disagree on anything server related.

However, Linux isn't doing squat on the PC. I've tried it, I have acquantences that have tried it. It doesn't work at this time unless you want to invest a lifetime in training. There aren't enough apps, there aren't enough days in the week to make it work. It's just not ready for the PC and to say it's about to flood onto the market is quite misleading.

IMO,
Dave
