Well, Roy, say all you want about Microsoft, you are entitled to your 
opinion, as thinly held as it may be.  But Windows, as a product that 
grew into the consumer mainstream, started in 1991 with Win3.0 and that 
is the measure of success rate that linux must follow if it is to 
measure up.  So far, it is essentially still stuck in the chute and is 
by any token years behind the market capture profile of the original 
Windows.  Win3.0 moved from an introduction lightweight contender 
against OS/2 to the market leader Win95 version in under 5 years.

The smart money is not on linux.
