As time goes by I'm not so sure this isn't a real software challenge to Microsoft. The model of open code and software developers essentially working for free, for companies that sell final packaged products, seems like it could bring products to market much faster than Microslow (er, soft).

When you start seeing popular programs like Quicken for Linux then it might gather real momentum in the retail desktop market. As it is know, IMHO, it's only a threat in the (not inconsequential) server market.
