I still see no market share going to linux.
Last time I was in CompUSA, I saw no linux distros on the shelf. That is not a good sign. This year MS grew at a faster rate than linux replacing unix servers and new deployment. On the desktop, the linux numbers remain low with no increase percentagewise in the US. Go to any box retailer is probably the best indicator of market success. A free download is not a market like I did with Ubuntu. Ubuntu is the great linux hope.
