In 2002, Linux will take off as a desktop OS. Late 2001 has brought us much improvement in desktop usability: - SuSE 7.3 with KDE 2.2 and ReiserFS - Red Hat Linux 7.2 with Gnome 1.4, Nautilus and ext3 - Linux 2.4.17 with great speed improvement compared to 2.4.0. - The preemptive kernel patch. Maybe we will see that being applied widely soon... It makes Linux desktop GUI behave more fluently than any other OS - except BeOS maybe. The configurability with GUI tools has become extremely much better, with Red Hat focusing on Gnome based tools and SuSE on KDE based tools. With StarOffice 6/Gnome OpenOffice around the corner, I strongly believe that consumer shops will introduce preinstalled Linux PCs and support for these during 2002. This will attract the people that Delphi attracts right now, and create more interest for Kylix. The increased interest for Kylix will definitely benefit BORL.
