But Linus himself has stated very recently (at Australia) that "while Linux is well deep into the server space and market, the home desktop will take 5 to 10 years to be equally competitive with other solutions."
We all know that Linus is not too much bothered about our angle on Computing. So the best thing you should do is to ignore what he says about the future of Computing and instead further it by telling your friends/community about Swathanthra software, about the GNU Project, and above all, about the ethical necessity of sharing.
Maybe we should not give importance to such `predictions'. We have something which is real and usable and that is the GNU/Linux system. My son who is a 4th grade student is a good user of GNU Emacs, he recently taught me how to edit multiple documents using GNU Emacs.
[since I was quoting I couldn't change that to GNU/Linux]
It would do us a great help if such `Open Source' news which confuses many of us here does not get posted anywhere so that it need not be quoted at all. ;-)
