But I think the last 4 lines pretty much explains that. A lot of the business world wouldn't know how to spell Ubuntu and only see penguins in DVDs their kids watch. In the business world I think .net, asp .net etc is doing pretty well ( assuming that going forward "asp .net" includes open source MVC and EF and a whole lot of javascript/jquery with HTML5)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
