Does this quote quote better?

"Many IT managers today consider Linux the preferred server operating
system. However, in spite of its obvious success on the server side, Linux
has not yet managed to position itself as a serious contender on the
desktop. PC World Norway strongly believes that this is in part due to the
fact that Linux simply is not as user-friendly as it needs to be in order
to successfully challenge Windows' dominating position as a desktop
operating system.
"However, recent developments in the Linux world have helped Linux
gain ground. Today, Microsoft's leading position in the market place is
being challenged. Linux still may have a way to go, but today it is, in our
opinion, a serious alternative, particularly in the business
market..."

We shall see...
