I'm not expecting these changes to happen quickly though. If Linux achieves a 20% desktop share in businesses a decade from now, that will represent a major achievement.

Seeing how those subnotebooks, or netbook, are exploding on the market at the moment, it is just a matter of time people will jump to alternatives. Obviously OSes like QNX, FreeBSD or OpenSolaris probably won't make it onto people's desktop.
Funny, i always thought that pixar were using solaris for their rendering farms.
So linux is the new Windows, when is the point people need to start hating it? ^^
