I mentioned earlier that the OS and apps on top of the OS will become less important in a web based world where "software as a service" will continue to grow.

However, I'm not so sure that Linux on the desktop will take off. I've played with various flavors of Linux over the years including the most current Ubuntu. It's still comparatively very rough and clunky vs Windows or Mac OS X.

The big trend that IS happening right now are lower cost lower power thin-clients on the desktop with centralized administration at the server.
