OK. Point taken. But... Web revenue for brick & morter business is growing constantly. Not that far to go, really.
Manufacturing is increasingly based on embedded systems. Most emebedded systems are not MS based, and Linux embedded is the fastest growing platform.
It comes back to the point made at the beginning of this thread - MS OSes are, and always have been, inherently unstable and insecure. The explosion of web-based applications make it an easier transition away from MS and on to something better.
I'm only pro-Linux because I've used it for over 6 years and find it very stable, immune (so far) to V/W/T, and efficient.

Really? Maybe Grampa Jones is still using winders, but a HUGE majority of web-based businesses are on Apache, powered mostly by Linux. The proof? Glad you asked...
