Matt Asay of Novell :" There's probably not real competition on the desktop today, in a year, or two years, we'll see frantic competition"
LMAO!
Now where did I hear that one before?
Ah yes, I remember. It was back in 1998, when the Linux crazies confidently predicted they were going to take out Windows on the desktop "in a year, or two"
Six years later in 2004, Windows has if anything a BIGGER market share on the desktop (at 96%) than they had in 1998.
When are these Linux ostriches going to take their heads out of the sand a and face reality for a change?
The Mr Micawbers of the Linux lotus-eating community are always going to kill Microsoft "next year"...untill next year actually does come around. LOL!
