Today Jesse Berst of Ziff Davis asks which OS is most likely to take on
Windows. The Mac fanatics are voting fast and furious. If you believe that
Linux has a shot (very remote, but the only OS that I believe has a shot),
then vote for Linux (or your favorite OS) at:

votes) with mac 2nd at around 27%

When I voted Linux was at 70% & Mac at 29%.

Well connected Linux users seem to already outnumber Mac
users 2:1. This is not the only advocacy survey of this
general variety where this ratio is appearing.

Hardly. Microsoft has brought the microcomputer OS to
the point where it is more bloated than even OSes from |||
what was previously larger classes of machines altogether. / | \
This is perhaps Bill's single greatest accomplishment.

I however, would urge people NOT to vote, since that way Microsoft will
know which OS to merge with an upcomming Windows release.

Call me paranoid,

Why is this now the question (Linux taking the desktop market from MS)?
Until we have GNU Strongarm, GNU Monopoly, GNU Anti-competitive Practices,
GNU Marketing Blitzkrieg, and other such fine products, it won't happen.

I'm also curious how these pundits define popular. Would 5% of
the market do it? 10%? Or does it have to be MS's 95%?

Linux already runs very nicely on the StrongARM, and I believe there is at
the very least a GPLed Monopoly clone.
Not sure about the "other such fine products", I think perhaps our
morality will be our downfall on the former, and our preference for
substance over style might prevent the latter.
