There's a certain cycle here, I think. *smile* You and Gruff are reading
Groklaw regularly and this is a link that I sent PJ earlier this morning
(thanks again for getting me in the right direction).

It's great to see that a site as mainstream as PC World actually perceives
Linux and/or OSS as contenders. This would have never happened half a decade
ago. People no longer fear Linux, or even RMS/GNU. With DRM, spyware, and
closed-source (secrets) lying about, OSS is seen as somewhat of a
haven/saviour -- someone you can always /trust/.
