All laptops in the future will run Linux – it’s near certainly fact now

I clicked on an alert I received that read, “PCs Could Run Multiple Operating Systems” I actually laughed, because PCs already do run multiple operating systems – what nonsense is being written now? Reading the article helps you see the impact of Phoenix’ HyperSpace announcement and it hit me – all laptops (using the Phoenix BIOS and HyperSpace) in the future will likely run both Linux and Windows whether a certain company likes it or not.

The HyperSpace environment would be based on Linux, giving the freely distributed operating system what could be its biggest break yet in the struggle to gain traction against Windows on PCs.

Note to self: don’t simply judge an article by its title ;-)
