Joe in answer to your question
What do you think will make the next ten years different from the last ten?
Ubuntu will.
Granted I don't like it all that much as it's way too much like Windows in the InSecurity Stakes but many new Linux Users and Net Book Users seem to like it a awful lot.
These are the people who don't want to use a real computer at the moment and like the abilities available to them on their Play Toys after trying Windows and having very little left over to actually do anything.
They are now trying the full version on their Desktops and liking it a lot for the same reasons.
Not sure what will happen tot he bulk of Tech Support Needs as at the moment the majority of Help Desk People are flat out dealing with Windows and at best only know Window Commands, give them some different Terms and they get completely lost and utterly confused.
However both Mandriva and SUSE have been running as Desktop OS's for me for a while now faultlessly though I'm going to have to Bite the Bullet and install one system with Ubuntu to help the people coming through.
