- 2000: Linux and free software are a cancer on the IT industry.
- 2001: The dotcom bubble burst, so Linux will now die, since nobody can afford to continue to develop it, as there's no profit in free software.
- 2003: Uh, okay, Linux didn't die. But it's too hard to install.
- 2005: Ubuntu is just a toy.
- 2006: So Linux is used a lot, but only on servers. It will never work on phones or embedded devices.
(skipping ahead so I don't drag up too many bad memories)
- 2022: Linux runs all top 500 super computers, billions of personal devices, most servers on the Internet, on all continents, on all oceans, in the air, in orbit, and on Mars. Oh, and in the air on Mars. All big corporations use open source in some form.
- Also 2022: Linux will always be a hobbyist toy, unless solves all these new problems we've just thought about.
