Like I said Dave, Linux has some deep pockets backing it these days. Like
a pack of wolves that have scented the moose, they see the large pie that
Microsoft has, and would rather have a slice for themselves than none of it.
And linux provides their opportunity to "cash in". No, linux won't be going
away for a long time.
After all, 1% of 10 billion per year is still 10 million. Not bad ROI for
something that is free.
