So?
What effect does this have on the Linux community?
You have had your chance with Windows ME which was a disaster.
Then you had Windows XP which didn't get updated for like 8 years or
something?
Now you have your chance with Windows Vista.
See a pattern here?
I doubt it.
The truth is Linux, despite being free, is still well below 1.0 percent of
the desktop market while OSX is climbing.
Why is that?
Why can't a free operating system gain market share?
