Shuttleworth: Windows 7 Is Yet Another Opportunity for Linux
Linked by
Thom Holwerda
on Thu 2nd Apr 2009 22:32 UTC
According to Canonical head honcho Mark Shuttleworth,
Windows 7 presents the ideal opportunity for Linux to gain significant inroads into the desktop market
. He said so in an interview with InternetNews. While I certainly do hope so, an eerie sense of deja vu creeps up on me: isn't this like the 923298th opportunity where Linux is supposed to make inroads into the desktop market?

Hmm... I think it's a million-to-one chance, but it might just work!
