A lot of people have written that year XXXX will be the year Linux takes over the PC Desktop. As I see it, it won’t happen in 2010. Why? No professional – standardized – software available for Linux. And I am then taken into account that the software isn’t ported to Linux. Some professional/standardized programs [...]
