November 14th, 2007 · 1 Comment

In our exclusive interview with Novell’s CEO Ron Hovsepian recently, he proclaimed that in his turnaround plan for the company, “One thing we decided was to develop desktop to data center Linux.” So why is there still so little Linux as a desktop OS?

Matthew Aslett over at analysts The 451 Group asked exactly that question over here recently – and as you can see from the comments on that blog, there is some disagreement over just how much penetration Linux has on the desktop!

So who’s seen some official-looking stats for just how much Linux there is on the desktop? Share them if you can, and in the meantime I’ll see what I can dig out that may help put the argument to rest for the time being…
