This Linux thingy is getting popular and Mark Shuttleworth has spent a lot of his own money promoting it. ;)

That works for me. :)

With companies like IBM and Novell investing so heavily in Linux, hardware vendors (Dell) starting to come around and companies like Canonical, it's really hard for Microsoft to promote the image of Linux as a 'hobbyist' OS. It gets frustrating sometimes to see what a small segment of the martket we own, but compared to 5 years ago we've made a LOT of progress.
