desktop market

Those who remember a time before Ubuntu will undoubtedly also remember tha

Das U-Blog by Prashanth: "Linux netbook sales alone constitute 6% of the total desktop market. I can't argue with that.

It's also a really impressive number..."

I4U: "In the realm of servers, a traditional Linux strongpoint, the open-source OS was starting to see a reversal of fortunes.

Windows Server was ascendant, and over in the desktop market Linux barely even counted as a player."

Linux Magazine: "Some of us are still waiting for the year of the Linux desktop. Some think it’s already here.

One thing is certain however, Linux does not have a majority desktop market share. By the time we get there, perhaps the entire idea of what a Desktop is will have been re-defined, thanks to “The Cloud”."

IT World: "While desktop Ubuntu shines as the leader among Linux distributions, with analysts estimating their share up to 95 percent of the Linux desktop market, Ubuntu's server version lags."

Cyber Cynic: "Some, like Lenovo, backed right out of the Linux desktop market again. As 2010 dawns though, Lenovo and HP are both back in the pre-installed desktop Linux game."

Cyber Cynic: "I'm puzzled. Desktop Linux, for the first time ever, has at least 1% of the desktop market.

Linux probably has considerably more than that. So, why is Lenovo's Worldwide Competitive Analyst Matt Kohut claiming that Linux has no future on netbooks?"

Datamation: "According to NetApplications, GNU/Linux now accounts for 1.02% of computer desktops. Depending on your outlook, this figure is cause for cautious celebration, or equally cautious dismissal of the operating system's prospects."
