<< You saw the part in that same article about Linux still be outfitted on Dell servers, it's the desktop line that lacked demand. >> Correct. Plenty of demand for Linux in the server market. MSFT, SUNW, IBM / Linux can fight it out for that business. MSFT is showing nice growth in the server market even though Linux is having some success as well. I don't expect the dynamics in that segment to vary much going forward. Meanwhile, MSFT still dominates the PC OS market and that isn't changing. My point was that Dell dropped PC's with Linux due to lack of demand. The Linux movement in the PC segment is about as dead as it's always was. Less than 1%. I don't see that changing much either. IMO, Dave
