Although Linux has found great success as a server platform, providing freedom, openness and a more stable, scalable, manageable alternative to Windows NT, it has been generally recognized that lack of applications on the desktop have inhibited Linux's wide-scale adoption as a desktop platform.
"Linux grew 24% to hold 27% share of the server operating environment market shipments in IDC's preliminary findings for 2000," said Dan Kusnetzky, IDC's VP of system software research. "Linux, on the other hand, held under 2% share of the client operating environment market shipments that same year. It is clear that the availability of the most popular desktop or client applications is an important factor holding back the acceptance of Linux. Since many of the most popular applications are only available on Microsoft's Windows family of operating environments today, a product making these Windows applications run reliably and perform well on Linux would go a long way towards removing this impediment."
