Story: 2004: The year of desktop Linux?
As an ordinary user who loves to experiment with trying to use Linux at home, I find that I can use it for practically everything I do on my PC except use it for voice and video chat using IM's like Yahoo. Once that is possible I will see no reason to boot into Windows again. Till then I keep switching back and forth between OSS applications like OpenOffice.org and Mozilla on Windows and Linux.
I use my PC for web browsing, Email, chatting, reading and updating documents in Word and Excel.
Recently I bought a Palm and notice that Linux support for the device is not as extensive as Windows. So that may be yet a negative as on date. But the future is as bright as ever.
