2004 might not be the year for desktop Linux ... but it doesn't matter

In a classic bit of debate technique--changing the subject when you've backed a losing argument--Linux Today's Brian Proffit opines that, while Linux may never supplant Windows on the desktop, it doesn't matter anymore because the PC desktop is supposedly a dying market. That's hilarious. It's also not true. In fact, PC makers will sell more PCs this year than at any point in history. So don't let all those TiVo's, PDAs, PlayStations, and other devices get you down, Brian. They're complementary to the PC, not competitive. And many of them will be running Windows as well as Linux.
