| have downloaded our new version i.e. one person downloading this
| software every six seconds.

| I don't think there won?t be a positive outcome from this and once
| day the Microsoft-Novell union will collapse. Every day interest to
| Linux is growing, that is very good. And as I said, all facts and
| events are showing that Linux is the operating system of the Future.
