Will 2007 be the year of Leopard, Linux or Vista?

| More interestingly, the Linux world itself is moving past the point
| of adolescent growing pains to gain a confidence of its own. Whilst
| much work has been focused on providing a stable secure platform (hence
| it's rapid adoption rate in the server market), recent focus has been
| on getting Linux onto the desktop. The introductions of rapidly
| growing distributions like Ubuntu have seen dramatic but quite
| adoption of Linux on the desktop in the last few years.
|
| Linux has mapped the improvements of Macintosh and Windows in a
| limited manner. Though this year has seen a dramatic focus on the user
| rather than the IT manager. Distributions of Linux are moving
| out of the domain of the techie and increasingly becoming easier
| for end users to install without help or detailed technical knowledge.
|
| More importantly though, Linux distributions will match the
| glass-like look and feel of Vista and Macintosh with new
| releases around the first quarter of 2007. At the same time,
| the rate at which Linux is improving usability is likely to
| outpace Microsoft and catch up with Apple.
