The main thing holding linux back is a lack of federal contracts.

Until schools are issuing Linux machines to staff and students. Until military outposts are run on Linux servers. Until your average federal employee is being issued a Linux machine, Linux will always be 3rd place.

    And why are federal contracts being issues out for Linux for general users? Because of lack of Ms office

    Schools are handing out Linux to students...just not GNU/Linux; a lot of schools opt for Chrome OS which uses the Linux kernel.

    Linux is already the market leader in every computing segment except desktops (even mobile when you factor in Android.)
