Hahaha - you obviously haven't understood anything. Linux is made with the GPL license, and the GPL license is based on ownership, copyright laws and on people who really, really care about it. Without ownership and copyright laws, Linux wouldn't exist. Communism is a society where one system rules and only a few persons in a board decides whereto the system should evolve. Any similarities with Microsoft Corp. are purely accidental.

My Nokia cellular phone has a faster processor and more memory than my first computer. There is no doubt, that a $100 handheld device year 2015 has enough power to run the biggest programs that exists today. It will be a device with all the power you need. One of the main reasons to buy one of these will be the price. If Windows 2000's success will still cost more than $10 at that time, it'll be marginalized.

People will use Linux for the same reasons as they use the laws of Newton: It's free to use it and it works. If you don't believe in european stuff, stay away from apple trees.

Lars.

P.S.: The center of the world must be somewhere in africa - I believe that's where 0,0 is.
