Linux may be popping up on an increasing number of desktop PCs, but there is little hope of it becoming a serious player in the PC sector.
Gartner has played down recent high-profile contract wins for Linux-based PCs. The research firm claimed that just because Linux will ship on five per cent of all PCs worldwide in 2004, this does not mean it is being used. Gartner estimated that only two per cent of the total PCs shipped in 2004 will be used with Linux.
