I really don't see anybody remotely knowledgeable about what they're buying without a Windows Tablet going for Metro.  It's basically an added step to all the things a desktop/laptop user wants to do, and looks garish as all hell.  I don't think it's going to be so much about Linux taking over as it will be Windows 7 dominating until they get their act together and release W9 or fix W8.

The answer is no. Windows is too embedded into the lives of most normal people to be replaced by Linux. I'm afraid there are many people who wouldn't even know what Linux is.

Not next year and not in 10 years. It will become more common but the average user will not switch from Windows or Mac OS.
