Well for me every year since 2000 has been the year of Linux. for some of my customers, it's been since 2006, for other since 2007, and for other it was 2008. I don't take much notice of the this year will be the year of Linux. Nor do I take much notice of the "reason why Linux won't succeed on the desktop" opinions. My interaction with real people tells me something quite different. |

Maybe we can get it added to the Chinese calendar. Then Year of the Rat, Year of the Dog and Year of the Linux Desktop can all have their time in the spotlight. |

I disagree with some of his statements about Netbooks. Some of the hardware specs are as good as many 'low-end' laptops that are sold with the 'promise' of being able to do all the things that he says Netbooks cannot do, which those 'low-end' laptops can't do well either. |

Its nice that it comes with a 80gig hard drive..too bad almost 40 of it is taken up by the OS... |

Quoting:Then Year of the Rat, Year of the Dog and Year of the Linux Desktop can all have their time in the spotlight. You mean 'Year of the Proprietary Rat, year fo Yellow Dog, year of the Penguin and year of the Ice-hockey playing deamon I assume? |

The year of the linux desktop came in 1993 for me - and it's gotten better every year since then. |

You're all wrong. This is the Year of the Year. |

Would that make it a Meta-year? |

That was 1995, the year Windows and the Internet collided. |

The Year of the Colonel! |

Gus, 1995 was also the year of the last Windows version I used by choice. |
