Linux vs Windows - Conquering a Windows Based World

HP is already shipping thousands of Linux desktops, and is in the process of making additional massive multi-thousand unit deals. This is covered www.crn.com by Edward Moltzen.

“We are involved in a number of massive deals for Linux desktops, and those are the kinds of things that are indicators of critical mass. So we are really looking at it very hard,” said Doug Small, worldwide director of open source and Linux marketing at HP. “We are in a massive deal right now for … multi-thousands of units of a desktop opportunity for Linux. That’s an indicator.” He declined to give details about the Linux deals.

HP just might beat Dell to the general desktop market with a Linux Desktop.
