Subject: Linux: how probable is it that it will be relevant in the near future?

Here's a quote from PCWorld's report on the convention at Santa Clara, CA:

'Moritz and Dyson assert that the Linux operating system could prove to be one
of the most important innovations of all as "hordes of programmers" work to
develop applications for the so-called open source operating system, which is
more accessible than Microsoft Windows since its source code is freely
available. "Open source turns your customers into your developers," says Dyson.
"It's a fundamental change."'

How 'difficult' would it be to have competitive software appearing in Linux?
When, in a meaningful way?  (not including those that are platform independent
already)
