The desktop of the future will be running Linux. Each successive wave of development improves and pushes open source software further. The increasing momentum from developers around the world makes widespread adoption of Linux inevitable. I remember telling people this in 1995 and they laughed me out of the room. I suppose those people are running MacOS X now, or they are looking forward to Windows Vista… So, can your desktop do this?
