Very interesting artical.

I am so glad my home computer is 100% Linux

.........but to each his (or her) own .

[Scott Tiger]

yeah, I thought that was hilarious as I read it. Guess Sun might get some play with that when it tries to sell it's new low(er) cost Linux boxes....

nothing in the article that's all that surprising.

i've always said that the biggest threat/challenge to microsoft was themselves.

That statement might be true, I don't know, but it does seem like it.
The reason many people don't see it (therefore do not believe it) is that the computer idustry is about 90% MS and 10% other
(Yeah I know I am excagirating the numberes here but the theory holds) so everyone sees the hacks on MS systems, and the hacks on the other OS is shadowed.
