Linux is in wallsteet servers, _as well as desktops_. That job requires a
reliable platform with good uptime. It actually appears to be a strong niche
for rapid adoption.
Hypothetical...
Customer: What's the value of IBM? I want to buy it now before it declines.
Banker: Let me check. Hold on for a bit. Ah, cr*p. I've got some malware that
redirects me to porn site ATM. OR: the network is down at the moment. OR: I
need to reboot.
Best wishes,
Roy
