Re: Could Linux take off thanks to Windows 8? Linux got a shot-in-the-arm at Vista time. I remember watching Linux development soar as if they were in a race and it heated even more when Windows 7 was announced.
But Linux seemed not quite ready, then, to take hold. Time will tell if this go around will cross a critical mass. I have to believe getting pre-installed Linux would be absolutely needed to make it take off so the right things have to happen.
Just my 2 cents. |

Linux has been ready for years. So many things are already easier than Windows, and there's a lot of goodness coming that even OSX is not providing.
Will Windows 8 and Valve provide the missing pieces for mass acceptance. I'm not holding my breath.

LOL! Thanks for the laugh ;p Then why are you even here? This is a Unix forum. Of course people here believe in Unix technologies like Linux. |

| I'm using Linux....... I have a Gentoo box at the moment. I've been using Linux since the Slackware days in 1996. Slackware, Redhat, Debian, Gentoo and Arch Linux.
I use both but Windows as desktop obviously. |
