Most popular 'real' desktop will soon be the Linux desktop
Do you know who else won't be following Apple or Microsoft to the cloud? People who care about privacy, folks who want control over their data on their machines, and PC power users.
And where will these good people go? Three guesses, and the first two don't count. Yes, it's Linux. That's why Linux will finally emerge as the top PC operating system.
Mind you, it's going to be a much smaller PC market than the one we have today. Those are the breaks. But for people who want a real desktop operating system, Linux will be their first and, indeed, almost their only choice.
