20 years!
No way, sooner. Id say, maybe 5 years tops. Not for a total takeover, but certainly for total user-friendliness.
Im soooooo loving Slackware 9.1 it's disgusting :D
My g/f is getting jeulous.

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)
psyjax:
ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!! I feel you, brotha', I feel you.

How is Linux not ready?
Linux can use M$ office. It can load kodak picturs with ease. It has MSN/AOL/IRC and even a few other chat clients.
Its stable, its secure and VERY easy to use. No constant tinkering or reinstalling.
Yes, It may be different than OSX in the way it handles things but as far as the Windows vs Linux goes.
Linux has already killed it.
For the record. My wife and my parents use Linux and they are total computer illitrate people. There just people who want to get their work done and not worry about another BSOD or virii attack.
Linux deliveres this where as windows just does not!

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!!! :D
