Linux will become ubiquitous in the year 3000. Okay, that was a horrible joke. Linux is just a kernel, the engine that runs an operating system. By itself, it is essentially useless. Kernels shouldn't be discussed or noticed by normal users. And as such when providing these users with reviews, previews and "professional" opinions, computer consultants, computer reviewers and computer journalists should not spew headlines like "Linux is not ready for prime time", "Linux on the desktop by XXX", "Linux to takeover Windows", "Linux is not ready for desktop" and so on.

I highly doubt humanity will exist in the Y3000, surely we would of leeched the earth dry of its resources, made extinct every biodiversity apart from the cockroach and a few rats, then eventually blown each other up?

It's human nature.
I'd put money that Open Source technology would still be in use too the end though - probably not Linux, but I can't see all this GPL code nearing extinction
