THERE’S AN opening for Linux to grab a much larger market share on the consumer desktop side over the next twelve to eighteen months, but penguin advocates need to pull their act together and hope a couple of software companies – or one big hardware company – decides to throw their weight into giving Microsoft heartburn…
Microsoft’s current pricing just doesn’t work with cheap hardware. If you have a $399 PC and $100 is Microsoft software that’s 25 per cent of the total cost. Go down to $299 and Microsoft becomes 33 per cent of the total cost. At $199, it’s 50 per cent.
