| Luckily for us, due to the ongoing success of Apple Safari & Mozilla Firefox, 
| not to mention the growing range of Linux PC’s and laptops sold by giants 
| like Asus and Walmart, Microsoft’s monopoly of the web browser is rather 
| quickly being whittled away. That is great news as the Internet was designed 
| to be useful to everyone, not to be held hostage by a commercial entity  
| seemingly concerned with nothing but their own profits. (There is nothing 
| wrong with being concerned about profits, as long as the actions stemmed from 
| such concern doesn’t prevent everyone else from striving to the same 
| position.)

| Okay, now lets tie this all back in together. Novell claimed several months 
| back in a video ad that Desktop Linux users accounted for upwards of 
| 30,000,000 different people. That's 30 million. Recent statements made by 
| some Novell representatives indicate that they expect there are upwards of 
| 50,000,000 Desktop Linux users. Microsoft has never contested the number of 
| Desktop Linux users, and if anything the deal Microsoft signed with Novell 
| was tacit agreement that Microsoft believed those numbers to be accurate.
