With Microsoft dying, a shell of its former self, and having committed itself to abandoning the desktop with Windows 7 the last great desktop Windows, and with other companies focused almost entirely on the mobile space... can you taste it?
Can you taste the Year of the Linux Desktop?

Why do we need a year of the Linux desktop this year? Linux has been on the desktop for years.
Note that the XVII indicates that this marks the 16th year that Linux will not become the "desktop of the year," with another fruitless year to follow.

2014 will be the year of the Linux Desktop when it breaks the 10% barrier.
Steam being released on Linux and the poor reception of Windows 8 will bring in the power-using gamer crowd.
