Read the article before ranting

The article isn't even address the linux desktop--but
rather free open source software in general. The
article predicts that things such as scientific
computing and communication platforms will utilize
open source to better use because of the nature of
these fields. Proprietary solutions to these types of
problems are too divisive to be of real gain--open
source is inherently community oriented and that's why
there will be growth in th areas discussed by this
article. And unlike your comparison to the Aids cure,
the items in the article are very well doable and do
not have any variables that are beyond human control.
I don't know when linux itself will have 40% market
share, but the article is presenting a prediction in
regards to the use of open source software/services.
