A couple of very important things have happened in the past few months regarding linux. First is that PalmSource is shifting all development to Linux. There are already more Linux based telephone devices than Windows. This could indicate the tipping point where Linux is the defacto system for telephone devices.
Second interesting event is that The HP (Tandem) NonStop Himalaya is switching its operating system over to Linux. Most credit card transactions still use Tandem based systems and software such as Base24.
