Computers will disappear when the connectivity is there. Just plug in your terminal to the network like you would hook up your TV to the cable service. And who will care about the OS when it is all about the services you use. Phone companies give away mobile phones for free because the money is in the service you use. One big difference at this moment: MS Windows is a 95% or so monopoly at this is the Killer factor what linux does: it offers competition so it will offer choice for us (it even offers control)
