Linux can work on more than 10 platforms that are not x86: PPC, Sparc, many others. Of course only few of them are viable for the market of desktops due to the fact that most of others are too expansive. However, PPC is still viable.
Windows is just a part of wintel monopoly, when Intel-copatible PCs are another part of it. Switching from Windows to Linux/x86 is a good trend, but will the switching from Linux/86 to Linux/PPC (or to Linux/others) follow up?
