Yes. true. Linux... more and more will use more and more. It not a zero sum game. Wireless/other more and more will use more and more. It not a zero sum game. MSFT/borg... less and less will use less and less. It not a zero sum game. Well OK maybe the less and less is the rate of increase and eventually is really somewhat negative. Now msft is taking money and investing in other. But in msft investments will the taint of borg viruses poison (rmember hotmail) productivity vs independent competitors with freedom of choice. In the long term of ups and downs Darwin sayes the most productive survive. Well reward their shareholder better. For 90+ percent of all the problems (PC class) I can do it with 1/3 to 1/5 the computer hardware Linux vs borg virus of the week. Well maybe right now 90+ may be only 50+ but it's going up at an ever increasing rate. Pain vs gain typical user mix etc..... TOm Watson
