I wonder what kind of decimation he's talking about?
With IIS, it's not really a decimation, more like a forceful ruling. While I personally think that this kind of rule will happen in the data center, I don't think Microsoft will be decimated.
Maybe Office will eventually have to split from the rest of the company as it's operating system software drags it down, now that would lead to a decimation!
I think I'm pretty lucky at my school, recently we recieved resources from the administration to construct an Open Source Institute on campus. We were giving a computer lab area where we fixed up some old PC's and created our own distrobution so that we may easily instlal all the packages necessary to our environment.
Being apart of the Clarkson Open Source Institute can earn you actual credit hours, we have projects that we do for the community and for the school. Linux training and tutorial sessions that provide newbies with a jumpstart into running linux. We also have several software projects underway that will help the campus and Open Source community at large. We provide a CVS server to the campus with tutorials on how to properly use CVS, as well as a central meeting place for recruiters looking for linux talent and others interested in linux in general.
The students here are not doing any of this for money, rather just fun and experience, I have a great time hanging out with the guys programming into the wee hours of the night.
