WORLD DOMINATION 201

"In the 1990s Linus Torvalds used to give a talk called World
Domination 101 on the early steps he believed Linux would need to take
to achieve 'world domination fast' . We've made a lot of progress
since then, but Linux desktop market share remains stuck below 5%,
which is too low to garner support from hardware vendors in some
critical areas like graphics and wireless hardware, and too small a
political base from which to effectively oppose software patents,
hardware DRM, and other horrors. For those within the Linux community,
World Domination 201 is about how to take advantage of an opportunity
to go the rest of the way. For those outside it, this is a warning of
what's coming if we fail."
