In the latest of his legendary keynote stage shows, Steve Jobs kicked off
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference this morning in San Francisco by
showing off the company's speedy new aluminum G5 desktop Mac. But while
listing the new machine's impressive specs, Jobs left out a related,
eye-popping statistic: Business Week columnist Alex Salkever dropped the
bomb last week that next year, "Linux should pass Apple in market
share for desktop operating systems on computers."
