    google will take linux "to the desktop", corporate and otherwise. we know what google is, we know what linux is, it just remains to be seen what will be (re)defined as the desktop in our near future.

      I don't think you have to worry about Linux taking over the desktop anytime soon. If that was going to happen it would have happened while everyone was busy complaining about Windows Vista. Basically unless Microsoft releases two OSes that crappy in a row, or worse releases one and lets it stagnate for as long as XP did, Linux is in no danger of becoming the dominant OS in the PC arena.

      Not that it matters. Linux already runs everything from TVs to Web servers.
