Yes, when windows becomes too nosy and difficult to use on an average system. I have a feeling that Vista is the beginning of the end for the Windows system. people will get fed-up of Microsoft if they start choosing what software can run and what can't or otherwise meddling with your installed software.

Not anytime soon. That is a you never know question. Linux is making some noise but the reason computing is what it is today is because of Microsoft and its practices (most are bad but hey it is what it is). I also think that Linux is a far superior system because of its versatility and stability. Windows is pretty much a desktop user system.
Linux can be used for anything electrical.

It will take some time as most people are not aware of the free operating systems and software that is available from the open source community. If you have not tried one of the free OS', get UBUNTU or XUBUNTU you can dual boot them with any other OS.

If game makers start building there games to run on Linux then there is a chance, but I dont ever seeing that happen. "PEACE"
