It's a long road to an over-night success.

I see Microsoft staying dominant in the gaming market and Apple staying 
dominant in the content creation market. Linux still very much has a 
future on the desktop.

The problem is people never-ending prediction of "the year of Linux on 
the desktop", and then feeling the need to cover their tracks after the 
fact. I agree with the Red Hat philosophy in this regard; It will happen 
when it is ready, and not a day sooner.
