Linux will be getting more attention from software companies

Yeah, I know, its obvious, computer companies are beginning to adopt Linux onto their notebook market and some desktop branches. But this article isn't about that, its about how software companies are going to start seeing Linux pull on their sleeves as a bigger and bigger portion of the market is going to Linux.

Yeah, I am going to be upfront with you; There is going to be more propriety software for Linux in the coming years. Companies are being forced to begin thinking about the rapidly changing market. Windows and Mac aren't the only players anymore, Linux is stepping in. Companies such as Asus and Acer are both promoting their new Linux based laptops, and they are using lots of popularity.

Some say that Linux kernel is far more powerful platform than the Windows kernel. I wouldn't be surprised if this is true. Today, Linux distributions are much more powerful in terms of non-enthusiast use. Its flexibility make it the ultimate home and office platform. It is able to perform the same exact office and home tasks as any OSX or Windows machine. It is free and can run on very low grade hardware. Its much cheaper to maintain.

Now that people are finally much more willing to switch, companies are rethinking their views on it Linux. A growing market of people is emerging day after day, and yet, most software companies don't have software that will run on Linux. The notion of open source is no longer as scary as it was a few years ago and companies such as Autodesk are ready to battle the community to bring their propriety software to Linux (Ex Maya).
