    I'll take "Stating the obvious for $400, Alex".

    The answer is, "This operating system will open up the path for non-MS operating systems."

    BZZZZ. What is "Any operating system that ISN'T Microsoft??!?!"

    Correct for $400.

    ... Knowing most Linux users, since they want everything for free they'll almost certainly try and stick the Mac user with the bill. And he/she will pay it too, but not without a _whole_lot_ of whining after they find out their free lunch isn't free anymore.
