Before the negative posts start arriving please understand that this is my comment to the editorial story on IDG which I’ve linked here for you entitled:
“http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=E7290BAD-D82E-48D3-7B44A9A6D5FAD161” “Why Linux on the Desktop Is Dead”
To clarify, I call any PC which a user sits at, that has the traditional keyboard, mouse and display a desktop PC.
