For my previous job, I dealt with Linux desktops a lot. We actually provide Linux desktops together with the software to customers, but I guess it did not turn out to be very successful in Malaysia. Maybe at that time, Linux is not ready for end users yet, but recently, this is what Maddog said about Linux desktop...

"The desktop is actually the last place that Linux has to go and it is going there," says Maddog, as he prefers to be called. "People are using Linux now for thin clients, in manufacturing desktops, in point of sale desktops, in educational systems and things like that and it's being used more and more by people who are saying it's just too expensive to manage all these licenses......In the desktop space, Maddog dismisses suggestions that Linux still faces challenges with usability in areas such as the installation of new applications."

Desktop is the final frontier for Linux source

And I really hope so. I would love to see Linux beat Windows at its game some day !
