Linux only has a small percentage of the computing market, however Microsoft already considers it a major competition as the open source OS steals the hearts of many users. Following the hard numbers though, Microsoft also increases its market share on both server and desktop space with time. The only logical explanation is that Linux steals quite a market share from the traditional UNIX providers (SCO, Sun, SGI, HP, IBM). But only Sun seems to truly be in a real Linux trouble, as it is the one with a resistance to Linux integration to its full product range.

The Linux kernel developers have decided that Linux should take a different route. As per that goal, the new focus of Linux development will be LxHWA (Linux for Handheld/Wireless Appliances). Further development of the Linux kernel will be slowed down.
Thank you for your support of Linux.
