So when will that day come? Microsoft and Apple have been the dominant desktop OS since the mid 80s. Yes I realize that Apple has hovered between 10-20% since the mid 80a

What day? I never dreamed of the "day of the Linux desktop", if that's what you mean. Couldn't really care less (other than to note that it would be nice).

I meant the day that Windows or Mac users would regret the “lock in” like farmers do with John Deere? Especially since Linux is easy to run on top of either and many of the best tools are ported.
