I'm not at all concerned about the "non-Windows" world. Corel for example got nailed before, porting its apps to Java, and now plans to do the same with Linux. Windows is what the hundreds of millions of people around the world use. That's why the DOJ is so worried about MSFT. Their product is really good. Far from perfect. But OK. I think that for the next few years CTXS will do very well because they know how to connect different OSs to eachother.

Will Linux ever become maistream? I know IT administrators who "play" with Linux. Running an extra server. They tell you stuff like "You should see how well Linux runs on the this old 486". Who cares. Not even them. When they need to run their "real" systems they use NT or a SUN OS. Remember, probably 60% of people don't even know how to format a floppy diskette. Do you think Linux is for them?
