Now that's funny!

You Linux loonies can't make a dent in Microsoft's desktop market so now
you are regrouping and claiming the desktop is dead.

You guys would have been in real tight circa 1939 with Goebbels and his
propaganda machine trying to re-write history and mold the future.

This stuff is so funny ya' just can't make it up!

BTW you had better inform the 90+ percent of people who are using Windows
as their desktop system that the desktop is dead and Linux is going to
take over.

ROTLMAO!

They were too poor (didn't have right job) to play with mainframes. So poor
little deprived people have to use Unix.

Personal computing, once the domain of Dos and Win 3.x, is dead - or has it
just migrated to the personal computers called mobile phones - as far as I
know Unix and free clones are used in no mobile phones.
