"It may be a brave opinion but I predict that Ubuntu Linux and Windows Vista are going to be the two operating systems that will take over the largest chunk of the desktop OS market during the next couple of years. This comparison is based on my experience with both systems during the last couple of weeks on two different computers."

"Linux is never going to be as big as Mac OS X or Windows XP/Vista on the Desktop because of the lack of commercial support of CRITICAL applications."

I guess you are forgetting about Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. 
Leopard kicks Vista's ass and any Linux distribution too.
Leopard kicks Vista's ass and any Linux distribution too. Linux works on more hardware than either Vista or Mac.

Name some ... there will be a Linux equivalent. The Linux equivalent will quite often be more functional and cheaper ... but just not as well known through not being advertised.
We are also starting to see Linux versions of more and more commercial applications these days. Soon, if a company such as Adobe or AutoCAD has not ported an application, they will find themselves left behind.

The article is about Vista vs Ubuntu not Mac Leopard vs Ubuntu, lets not get carried away. It's too early to predict the future of Linux, Linux is gaining market share. I use Ubuntu at work and Mac Leopard at home, but love the compiz effects on my Ubuntu box. Linux is not only for geeks but also for people who appreciate beauty. Linux is beauty with brains.
