'Breaking into the desktop market will be tough. Although Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft isn't dominant in servers, it has 94 percent of the market for operating systems that run on 'clients' such as desktop and laptop computers. Linux claims only 3.8 percent of that market, said IDC analyst Dan Kusnetzky.'
Less than a year ago, folks like FlatFish+++ were telling us that Linux had 0.24% of the desktop market. Now Linux is at 3.8 percent! That's an increase of 1483 percent! Linux's desktop growth is just plain amazing!
