Thanks for the article. Someone posted a link not long ago and I liked a line from the article. It was saying:"OS's are becoming commodity". With spreading of OS (read MS) independent standards, we'll see more and more OS's on the market with each OS serving a certain segment of the market. May be even several OS's competing with each other in some segments. So it is not only WIN vs. Linux, but also Be and who knows what else is coming. Lots of fun is coming. <G>
