I don't think it's going to happen en masse, but I think it is
happening. As more and more of computer usage goes to the Web (for
non-power users, which are the majority) it becomes easier and easier
to accept something other than Windows. I think, for example, the Asus
running MeeGo is going to be more successful than Asus' previous Linux
netbooks because folks are getting used to using Android and iOS on
the Internet. They are beginning to think of the web browser as a
replacement for the desktop. I think Google's ChromeOS *might* have
been a success, had they not over-priced the machines -- but,
personally, I want local storage.
