Linux: It's Growing More Popular, But Can It Do Windows?
Quote: "Linux, the computer operating system developed in the 1990s by a college student in Finland, is unlikely to dethrone Microsoft's Windows as the ubiquitous operating system on desktop PCs anytime soon. But Wharton faculty and a Linux supporter say that Linux will gradually become more attractive to consumers as more applications are developed for it."
Comment: Aside from stating the extreme obvious, this article does make the point that future growth of Linux will come through companies/organizations that are focused on cost-savings. I'm surprised that Linux is not more popular in cash-strapped education circles...open source, cost savings and education - isn't that almost like mom's apple pie?...:).
