Linux InformationWeek is speculating on how Linux will change in the next four years. "By 2012 the OS will have matured into three basic usage models. Web-based apps rule, virtualization is a breeze, and command-line hacking for basic system configuration is a thing of the past."

"i didn't know gnu/linux was a business"

that was exactly my point, btw. did you follow the discussion?

There is one thing though: The acceptance through a broader audience has a key value, for example when it comes to hardware support. Sure most drivers are free, but most of them would not exist without support/efforts from manufacturors. Think of no one apart from me and you using GNU/Linux. I could not buy a brand new laptop and use it w/o hassle.
