| While I think it's important to see Linux gain adoption as well as other

| Open Source technologies like Linux as a righting of the marketplace
| where through some series of consequences Microsoft has grabbed a
| disproportionately large share (roughly 90% of the desktop market, for
| example). This gives them an undue amount of influence on how we do
| desktop computing. In any market, competition will drive innovation
| and keep prices reasonably low, two conditions that I don't believe
| have been met in recent years.
