As sometime user of my SuSE distro (no net access but still fun) and avid fan of Linux in general I have to agree that the a big problem for Linux in general is the highly divided internal life of the community. I feel that some sort of "united front" or clearinghouse would simplify accessibility for non-Linux literate souls who are interested.

Sorry, But I would have to disagree that this is the end of Micro$oft as we know it. Too many folks are using M$ as enterprise wide solutions, they're in too deep. Average IT life-cycle is five years and that is long enough for this to be forgotten and adjusted for through more strenously antivirus sscanning pc start-up time as one example, this is what they are doing at my place of employment. Besides given the malicious cleverness of the types who does this do you think they wont find away to get after other systems. Hubris is dangerous just ask Odysseus.
