LinuxWorld keynotes lack inspiration ....Dr. Cowpland made a little more of an effort to focus his address on the advertised topic: his vision of a market that combines the open-source model with the profitability demands of a public company. He did congratulate the Linux community on its "coming-out party" and tout some well-known facts and stats about the growth of the Linux operating system and the conversion of Microsoft users to Linux.
