"Recently, both Novell and Red Hat went on record as dismissing the idea that the consumer Linux desktop is going to be taking off anytime soon. It's not? Has anyone told Asus and Xandros? Everex and gOS? How about Dell and Ubuntu? They're all doing great with consumer Linux desktops." The enterprise Linux leaders are not the ones making strides on the desktop. Does that mean that the Linux desktop has no future, or just that they've let their business focus let them drop the ball on that segment of the market?

Just as an anecdote, I found by chance this[1] article the other day. It's from 2003 and its title says:
"Global IT firm predicts Linux will have 20% desktop market share by 2008"
Bottom line? The future is unpredictable :-)
