Check out this comment that I've just seen (on my short article):
http://technocrat.net/d/2007/7/9/22864
"Having twice worked in industries that have been undermined by non-traditional
competition (in this case, traditional competition might be another company
that was selling an OS, ie, probably not Linux or Google), I'm reasonably sure
that there will be a number of alarm signals that will sound should Linux
adoption break out of the niche zone. In my experience, these are often heard
internally, but are ignored at a corporate level, because there is no
available response. One of these companies publishing paid-for magazines for
managers and it was fatally sunk by magazines that were given away free.
Turned out that the advertisers didn't give two hoots for the editorial
quality, and the subs just didn't cover the costs of the journalists."
