i do hope your predictions become reality, clazzy.
if linux becomes more popular, more software will support it. Linux has the potential to become more useful than windows, but as long as sotware supports only windows, including games/directX, many people would still need windows.
if its marketshare increases, it will gain the support of more and more companies. when that happens, windows wouldnt be necessary for poeple, and they would switch to this free alternative.
however, linux as it is now, wont do much good.
if dell can make it more popular, and more important: better known, it will not only become supported by more companies, but also more people will work on it, since its open-source, which will speed up development.
if it works, i think it wont take much more than 5 years for linux to be used on a least 50% of the PCs in the world, unless microsoft comes with an increadible service pack for vista.
