In May 2009 Preston Gralla, contributing editor to Computerworld.com, believed that Linux will never be important to desktop/notebook users, even though he felt it was simple and straightforward to use, but that its low usage is indicative of its low importance in the desktop market.
2009年5月， Preston Gralla，Computerworld（英语：Computerworld）的特約編輯，相信對於桌上型電腦/筆記型電腦的使用者來說，Linux永遠不會變得重要，儘管他認為Linux相當的易於使用，它在桌面電腦市場的低使用率突顯了它的低重要性。
