| ONE OF THE potentially biggest announcements at CES will probably go
| unnoticed by most, a Linux box from Shuttle. Get ready for a low priced
| machine from a big name, a first that I am aware of.

| Opinion -- Sometimes, several unrelated changes come to a head at the same

| Microsoft will fight this trend tooth and nail. It will cut prices to the
| point where it'll be bleeding ink on some of its product lines. And Windows
| XP is going to stick around much longer than Microsoft ever wanted it to.
| Still, it won't be enough. By attacking from the bottom, where Microsoft can
| no longer successfully compete, Linux will finally cut itself a large slice
| of the desktop market pie.
