These are Microtheft's conclusions?
1) Static growth rate
This only has relevance to commercial software.
2) Lessening mainstream interest
You mean it's not a fad anymore? I don't judge software by its popularity, I use it to get work done.
3) Sharp decline in Linux-based company stock value
Microsoft, along with the rest of the business world, continues to place Open Source software into a traditional business model. Take note boys and girls; Open Source Software is a new frontier, time to put on your imagination caps and look for some new revenue models.
Meanwhile I'll continue to use Open Source tools to get my important work done, and let my kids play their games on the MS-Windows box.
