Will Linux take over Microsoft Windows Soon?

Posted by Daniel in BLOGROLL, MARKETING, MEDIA


One blog on Zedomax has noticed something interesting and that is Linux starting to take over the world with Mini-notebooks and netbooks. Many computer users have said that Linux will beat Microsoft Windows at some point, but when that point will be is very hard to guess even it did happen.

Will Linux take over Microsoft Windows Soon? The answer to this question will depend on how we class soon, if soon means within 5 years then it could be a yes, any sooner than that would be some accomplishment. The Blog (which you can read here) went on to explain their views of Linux taking over people’s computers.

With so many uses today going towards open-source software, it will make it harder and harder for people to sell paid software when there is similar open-source software. You only have to look at Norton Anti Virus and AVG, many of my work colleagues and friends are moving to AVG.

Are Microsoft is afraid of Linux? If they are afraid of Linux, it could be because once people start catching on to Linux and start using it more often, there will be no more need for Windows. Then Microsoft might have to go open-source if they want to compete with Linux.

What’s your view on open-source software, Linux and Vista or XP?
