No conspiracy theories here. /Any/ commercial Linux distributer (expect a
Ubuntu IPO, much as in Trolltech), is lowering the popularity of Windows.
Besides that, I might add, Microsoft has got some Linux servers running
in-house. Ironically, they have expressed satisfaction with those. Maybe
they will one day follow the footsteps of Little Brother Oracle and ponder
the takeover of a Linux company, much like Novell-SuSE (at a time when
Novell was predominantly a Windows-NetWare supplier).
Best wishes,
Roy
