Well, may be not. But, 2004 definitely is.

Noooooooooooooo. 2004 is definitely *not* the year of Linux desktop.

Well, then may be 2005 is.

That didn't exactly work out as predicted, but 2006 is *definitely* the year. Watch us crush Microsoft!!

Click on teh "report abuse" link below the avatar fo the poster, and report ddt for his use of multiple voting yahoo ids. I did so, requesting that not only ddt is removed, but also all yahoo id's originating from same IP address.

We all know that you are a crooked troll.

And you vote on your own posts.

One must wonder what the point is. Nobody likes you, you're not funny, and you have nothing interesting to say.

You're simply a total cheat adn a loser.

It doesn't look like your lie campaign worked. Yahoo is convinced there is no foul play. I just have a couple of silent supporters, that's all.

The Linux supporters have jaundiced eyes, it seems.
