What does everyone think about linux hitting the desktop industry?

So far this year, the buzz about Linux in enterprise networks has focused on servers and embedded systems, with the growth of Linux severs being most heralded. According to IDC, a research firm based in Framingham, Mass., Linux was the fastest-growing server operating system last year, with a 93% growth rate over the year before. Linux was the second most-shipped operating system in 1999 after Windows NT, capturing 24% of new licenses shipped.

What does everyone think about linux hitting the desktop industry?
It's great. We need more variety in the market! Besides, Linux is infinitely better than any other operating system and hopefully if it becomes more "main-stream" so that more people will see the light. :-)
