    Nice theory, care to give an example of any FOSS application or package putting Microsoft out of business? Sure it gives them competition, but historically every time they come back stronger than before. Only reason I'd like to see Mac OS reach wide spread use would be to drive even more competition within the desktop market, making my beloved Windows even better.
