"8.Linux threatens Windows. Even though MS fiercely denies this, any sane person has to agree that Linux is making huge inroads and at a rapid pace. Hindsight will show that the tipping point was reached in 2005, and the adoption of Linux in 2006 is increasing. Ubuntu Linux now has more than 2 million users, and Ubuntu is one of more than 200 Linux distributions. "

The article is a tad biased, although I tend to agree they will fail eventually. It was nice, earlier today, I was helping my dad play with his breezy box at home. One comment, "this is fun, I don't want to use windows anymore" was good to hear. I think if people get a little help at the get go, ordinary tasks are easier in Ubuntu. (barring exotic hardware, running windows games...). But for surfing, burning, reading pdfs, watching video, listening to music, etc. Once your codecs are in, everything shines.
