The great thing about Linux is there is not now nor will there ever be a Linux Inc. If Windows 2000 turns out to be open source and totally rocks we'll all be using it in a few months. The same goes for the HURD, FreeBSD, Solaris, or whatever other operating system you care to think of. If it's free (as in there ain't no liscense fee) and it's good (as in it don't crash and corrupt your harddrive), then I for one am going to use it. Linux fits that bill right now so therefore I'm going to use Linux. It's natural selection, survival of the fittest, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you. Loyalty to any one operating system is a mistake. Tomorrow it will be obsolete and you will lag behind, or you will shell out some cash. Microsoft just ain't natural. They have built up around them a legion of under-educated loyal users, and a group of educated disgruntled users. The clueless will get a clue and the cluefull will just get out.
