A lot of Linux geeks spent a lot of time worrying about Microsoft's desktop dominance over those years. I would often hear people claim that Linux had to get on to the desktop *now* (1999, 2004, 2007, etc) or it would be locked out *forever*.

I concluded some time in the late 90s that sooner or later a disruptive technology would come along and completely rewrite the rules on computer interfaces, making any current desktop dominance irrelevant.

Absolutely spot on.

Gazing into my crystal ball, there will be a 3D interface that will blow us all away, and the kids will laugh at us for using a mouse / keyboard.
