>>"I've been building custom software apps on Microsoft platforms since the mid-80's. I was a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) from the mid 90's until last year, a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) during the late 90's, and received the first Microsoft Visual FoxPro Lifetime Achievement Award in October of 2002. So why am I moving to Linux?

>Reading Whil's essay, my impression is simply this - he feels that he can sell more books in the Linux world than the MS world.

Perhaps you should read it again. "Open Source represents freedom....Open Source offers choices....Open Source platforms offer better security..."
Sure this might mean he can sell more books - but you can get more out of the article than THAT can't you?

>And while I don't agree with Whil on many things, his comments on the Fox market are on target.
