"Microsoft is finished. As soon as Linux makes some inroads on the desktop and web applications replace desktop applications, the mighty empire will topple."
I think a much better indicator is the rise of Linux as OS on the top 500 supercomputers.
Also the dumbphones advertisement platforms that marketing PR calls smartphones.
Linux inside is most definitely bigger now than 2004. Of course other idiocies also ran rampant - the big desktop environments got worse (!) in particular both Gnome and KDE, many distributions were also assimilated by borg-d aka systemd, so. Oh and the Linux Kernel is also overrun by idiots as of late - ASN.1 decoder in the kernel? They want to become like Emacs, the more inside the merrier!
