HOw can it spell the doom of Linux desktop? Even if it does not worth with 100% of the folks, it works for a certain % of people, and the total installed base is growing over time as more people try it and find it works for them. That is why you see the share of Linux desktop not GOING DOWN, but being stable or growing a little, while the overall internet population is growing from year to year.
Please stop the "Doom predictions". It won't happen. It does not need to be the MAINSTREAM system to exist.
