-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ouch, this writer has no idea what he is talking about. Linux is the kernel, and compared with the OS X and Windows kernels, there is a serious race for a distant second place between Apple and Microsoft.
There is three way competition in the user interface space, with KDE4, compiz etc. bringing a lot of pretty to the table. In the case of the operating system, popularity has nothing to do with needs or wants. Marketing and branding is king. I expect more out of Cnet.
