one SERIOUS question:

>>I don't see what stands in the way of tens of millions of Linux desktops. Dell, GTW, and all the old-line M$FT captive boxmakers will be forced by the existing "white box" culture and other upstart competition to bundle Linux as an option, and the DOJ will stop, or has stopped, Microsoft from contractually blocking them from doing so.
<<

where is this groundswell of demand for linux on the desktop going to come from your qwikness?
1) will it be corporate users , who i bet are just chomping at the bit to make wholesale changes to their environments.

2) consumers, who will chuck all the quicken and games and aol for a chance to muck around with linux.

if it aint THEM qwik, who is it?
