Industry analysts said that if the Linux system can overcome interoperability, it will further threaten Microsoft's monopoly in the desktop and laptop market, and this is just a time problem.
Warren Shiau from Idc research, said that although Linux has not enough strength to challenge Microsoft's position in the desktop market, all things are in development, and there are signs that Linux has potential to Microsoft. Composition constitutes a real threat.
SHIAU is published in HP issued its new laptop, this laptop pre-installed Novell's SUSE Linux system, and other manufacturers are expected to follow in the following months.
Evan Leibovitch, Chairman of the Linux International Association, said this is a milestone event in the history of Linux. Before challenging Microsoft's 95-percent desktop market, Linux still has a long way to go, but there is indication that all this is happening.
IDC has long been observed in the desktop market Linux's share has exceeded Apple's Macintosh operating system.
Industry insiders pointed out that several companies have successfully developed Linux systems for non-technical users, including Xandros from New York, now developed Linux technology desktop operating systems.
However, Linux will face many challenges. There are still many problems with interoperability between Linux operating systems from different manufacturers.
The current desktop market has multiple versions of the Linux operating system competition with Microsoft's window system. One of the versions originated from Ottawa's Corel, which later sold this Linux desktop system to Xandros in New York. And Red Hat Software Company's desktop version of Linux system has been launched for a while. In this month, KDE also released a version 3.3 version of Linux desktop operating system.
The analyst Shiau said that there is a 100 different versions of the Windows operating system, and each other is not compatible, then Microsoft can't get its monopoly status today.
However, there are also analysts insisted that Linux does not have any so-called interoperability issues, which don't exist in the release of our own "break" like UNIX.
Although Shiau believes that there is interoperability between different versions of Linux systems, he believes that these issues can be solved by Linux vendors such as Novell.
Novell recently announced that the new version of the company Linux operating system will be released this fall. Industry analysts say this version includes management, application software, and operating systems will be integrated.
