Re: Maybe people will even start to look at OSS in a new light.
This is the year in which, possibly, more people worldwide do their client computing on a mobile phone than a Windows PC, and a majority of backends are Linux based.
The "year of the Linux desktop" meme is a bit as if people in the late 19th century were making jokes about "the year of the oil fuelled triple expansion steamship." Oil fuelling came all right - but the major beneficiaries were turbines and Diesel engines. In the same way, Linux and the Linux way of doing things (app stores, in effect) created a new paradigm rather than taking over an old one.
