I think it's great that he has a deal with Linspire so sells it and that
he doesn't have a deal with Fedora or Mandriva. Real competition is when
there's a guy next door hawking one of those :)
Mac bait (but a serious point): with more people *willingly* going from
Windows to Mac, they've now lost their OS cherry and will be more open to
viewing an OS as a commodity.
