5{-------- you want about the blinders, head in the sand, bla bla bla, but i think that this cbs marketwatch article says it all:

trying to measure free open source shipments, by the money generated in sales is..... less than forthright..... unit shipments and downloads would be more useful....

and IBM says that Linux shipments and downloads are sky rocketing..... from an excerpt from another article....

Message 17860891

I.B.M., one of the biggest backers of the Linux movement, says it has been recording double-digit and even triple-digit growth in its Linux business in the last year.

so you might say what you want about blinders, but you best also do some looking around too....
