desktop

I am begining to read that Linux may have a play on the desktop. Gartner group says that Linux will have as much as 5% of desktop market in a few years. I think that Linux will soon dominate the desktop market because of price and stability. I think that as the use of linux spreads in government and business, users will get used to Linux as an acceptable alternative to Windows and then the use of Linux will explode. I think, due to the 'network effect' that the use of Linux on the desktop will grow very rapidly - not a steady straight line but rather a steep upward slope.
