Linux According to a Novel-sponsored IDC survey, Linux seems to be gaining popularity among businesses implementing servers, and it has a bright outlook for both server and desktop installations in the coming future.

Windows now has over 90 percent of netbook sales, quashing any hopes of an open source revolution in the form of netbooks. Android, however, may be able to change things.

If Microsoft starts demanding high enough fees for Windows 7 that the Linux versions become a better deal despite usually being lower spec and hard to find... then maybe Linux will make a comeback.

I don't think Microsoft is that stupid, though.
