Judging from what Canonical stated as their reasons for switching to Unity, we may finally have a chance to crack the Microsoft hegemony on the desktop. Very young people, or people who don't use computers are getting used to a vastly different UI than people who grew up on Windows. These mobile operating systems are changing what they expect to see when they access a machine and if truly free software can meet their needs and expectations, we stand to liberate(and inform them hopefully) from Microsoft, or even other open source software that isn't 100% free.

What does everyone else here think? Do you agree that this change that is taking place will be able to end Wintel's stranglehold on the desktop?
