In the News Apple and Linux are engaged in battle – a battle to win over disgruntled Windows users. But who will win, and what will the consequences be for the loser? The most commonly held belief amongst Apple and Linux fanboys is that both factions are engaged in some kind of a war with Microsoft. The truth is that if you look at the market share figure for Windows, Mac and Linux, both Mac OS and all the Linux distros that have ever been released are dwarfed by Windows.

Eventually Linux will.
Things in Linux favour
1. Works on disgruntled Windows computers
2. Is getting uptake in the corporate world
3. Free

Don't get me wrong, OS-X is an interesting piece of tech and will take it's share of Windows users but more the people with cash to burn as Mac's are bloody expensive outside of the USA.

Also hope the push for open standards will tip the move to Linux.
