7 Reasons Why Linux Won't Succeed On The Desktop

This article was written in 2007. They predicted that Linux isn't going to
have any significant impact on the desktop and now two years later, it's
true. Linux will always be just a TOY OS and will not be a threat to
Microsoft.

Again, sigh, were you lying then or are you lying now? Both cannot be true.

Of course they are both true! Linux has many distros and most users reject
Linux.

The article that you cited says Ubuntu is becoming very popular. You
then state that no one uses it. Are you unable to understand this simple
and very obvious contradiction, sport?

Course, you, as usual, trot out a straw man because you've been caught
lying again.

Of course Ubuntu is becoming very popular. I understand that 12 more people
are using it!

There are degrees of popular you IDIOT.

Your understanding is incorrect. Try 11 million happy Ubuntu users and
growing.
