Technology is usually ripe when financial community starts taking interest -

Prudential analyst Brent Thill recently bought a Lindows PC from Wal-Mart's Website. In a note to clients, Mr. Thill said that the system was easy to set up and to use. It cost $231 with shipping, which is about the list price for Microsoft PowerPoint. Mr. Thill predicts that within 3 to 5 years, the consumer applications, like games, will appear and Linux will start making a dent in Microsoft's pricing.
