Linux Will Never Go Mainstream

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday September 09, 1998 @06:56AM from the mainstream-vs-alternative dept.

Eric Green writes "Jesse Berst is at it again. He says "Linux will never go mainstream" and that NT will be the standard desktop within a few years." NT will be the standard desktop, but I guess it depends how you define mainstream. I have a hard time thinking linux is really 'alternative' when it has 8 million users, and is growing faster than MacOS.
