Dream on.

The only systems competing for the desktop market are Windows 3.1, Windows
95, WinNT (to a lesser extent), OS/2 and MacOS. Try to get a Fortune 500
company to use UNIX as its desktop OS. Try to convince the average home
user that UNIX makes sense for them.

UNIX is a great system. For server applications and some specialized
needs, it can't be beat. For the majority of desktop applications, any of
the above systems beat it hands down.
