Linux does not need to conquer the desktop to 'win'. Nor does it need to 'beat' Microsoft to win.

Actually, what we really haven't done is define the term "win." I think Linux has already won. Microsoft is scared, server market has been penetrated, corporate offices are noticing. Linux is more popular than Solaris and Tru64 and Irix and HP-UX and arguably IOS. What more could constitue winning?

I know what I would constitute winning: Linux being offered as a supported, preinstalled option on all new retail PCs.
