Software life cycle :
10% - Tipping point - (hardcore techies) 30% - Rapid growth - (IT people) 50% - Consumer, User level 80% - Domination
What we are seeing is that Linux has crossed the tipping point.
Next level it has to scale it to the common tech people. It will take a few more years. This is in progress...
Linux has a long way to go...
How long till Linux desktop nirvana ?
:D
