Technology research firm IDC expects the combined market for Linux desktops, servers, and packaged software to grow by an average 26 percent a year, reaching $35.7 billion by 2008. By then, the market for new and redeployed PCs running Linux is expected to grow to 17 million units worth $10 billion.

"Once you have about 8 to 10 percent of the market, you will see somewhat an explosion of people running it at home," said Timothy Tuck, owner of computer services provider Pervasive Netwerks. "Once they see all the problems going away on their work computer, they want a system as stable and secure as they use at work."

Yea that is a good article.
