Star OSNews: What We'd Like To See in 2009
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 31st Dec 2008 18:26 UTC
OSNews, Generic OSes The internet, and much of the real world as well, is currently in list mode. Just about any possible list that can be made up regarding 2008 will be made up somewhere, so we decided not to reinvent the wheel and look forward instead of backward. Since we like to leave the guessing predicting to the analysts, we just limited ourselves to what tech-related matters we would like to see in 2009. Read on for our lists, and of course, post your own in the comments. And lest we forget: a very happy 2009 from the OSNews crew!

2008? I think you might be a little too late to call that one; unless Santa Claus goes around installing Linux on everybody’s computer in one night! ;)

And indeed, it's already late for that, unless Santa Clause comes on New Year's in your country.

installing Linux on everybody’s computer


http://blogs.computerworld.com/we_already_had_the_year_of_the_linux...

Unless Kroc is really the grinch teh Kroc who stole the GNU/Linux desktop for all the FOSS ...

Last year was not the year of the WII !!! Why ?because it's not installed on everyone computer ...

Last year was not the year of the Iphone !!! Why ? because it's not installed on everyone computer ...

( for the illogical , it's meant as an example to show how stupid and illogical asking that every computer had GNU/Linux installed on it before you accepted it as the year of GNU/Linux desktop. )
