>Let's see what happened if Linux controls most of the Server/Desktop OS arena.

Allow me take my Microsoft hat for a moment and replace it with my ex-Unix sysadmin/geek hat: that is not going to happen anytime soon. On the server side, you still have to be a geek to get this stuff to work. OTOH, I could toss a Windows 2000 Server disk at my AOL-using sister, and she could get it up and running in an afternoon. Desktop? Umm, yeah, right. I can barely set this stuff up, let alone Aunt Mable.

And before you dismiss me as a Microsoft shill, let me say that I want Linux to succeed. Got to keep Microsoft's feet to the fire and all, you know. But as I see it, it's not going to happen anytime soon. And deep down, I'm a big fan of Unix (how many of you were on the FP Unix beta? :-)

>Linux Delphi a.k.a. Kylix is very impressive.

No argument there.
