If Palm switches to Windows....
It's going to be Windows vs. Linux in the handheld market too... Things could get a *bit* messy if/when that happens... Unless Apple makes a "successor" to the Newton. Then the handheld market will be exactly like the desktop... Microsoft vs. Linux vs. Apple...
*shudder* As if one battlefield isn't enough. Although I think Linux might stand a good chance of at least winning *some* ground in that battle - you don't have to strip Linux down as much as you would Windows to run on a PDA. Some smart people have full X11 running on a Zaurus. Even have Firefox, Thunderbird, AbiWord, etc. compiled and running. I think someone's even run KDE at least once. =)
