"In fact, during his keynote at the LinuxCon conference today, Sutor said he doesn't think it likely that Linux will ever dominate the desktop space. "That might seem counterintuitive, considering that IBM has been backing a Linux desktop for several years and recently announced a joint effort with Ubuntu for a Microsoft-Free PC.
