"Linux, long the laggard to the Windows desktop, is pushing into emerging markets, onto mobile devices and other client form factors, and is poised to give Microsoft something to really compete against, according to attendees at the annual Linux Foundation Summit. While the Linux desktop has yet to hit its stride, the operating system is showing up and lowering prices in everything from mobile phones, tablets, global positioning systems and even gas pumps."

I agree. The big companies that have been around for a long, long time are all companies that started by doing a completely different activity and successfully reinvented themselves as necessary.
Look up the history of companies like Nintendo, Sega, Motorola or Nokia. It's pretty fun to see how radically different their activities where when they were founded.
