I agree that linux will be right for the average person in 5 years, for sure.  But 20 years may be how long it takes for MS to go completely out of the OS business (they have 50 billion in revenue or something)

If anyone doesnt believe linux can be #1 in 5 years, I invite them to look at linux distros from 1998 and compare them with current distros. The difference is night and day.

Crossover office will only discourage vendors from actaully writing native software for linux.

This is true, however you and I both know that microsoft will NEVER write a version of Office for linux, so that is an irrelavent comment.

If linux takes the desktop in the next 5-10 years, then yes, i do think ms will write office for linux. They will have to in order to remain a player in the field.

Oh, quit foolin yourself    

I use linux every day, and it has a huge learning curve.

Sure, if you got it all configured, it will be rather easy for someone to use. But try and get your wife to solve dependencey issues by herself, perhapse compile from source, and you got a different story.

It is better than windows, but not esier, and it has no Photoshop    

Sorry, but the GIMP suxors.... and ya, we have argued that up and down a million times.

I'm typeing from Slackware 9.1, the best distro ever!!!    

Well your on slackware.  That distro was made for geeks.

My parents, sister and my wife use linux and guess what?

No dependency problems!

If it was RH 6 or 7 or back in the day i could of at least seen your point.  But it is not and even then there were still distros that got the job done like caldera.

There IS no learning curve.  If you have to figure out all the problems on windows then linux is DEAD EASY!

If they create a version of any of their products for linux, it could seriously impact sales of their other products, such as their OS. Thats why MS will never make a version of Office for linux. Then people might think that linux is actually a viable alternative.
