| I’ve been following the discussion in the comments with much interest and a
| few things are becoming clear to me:
|
| 1. That we’re spending way too much time on the enterprise market and not

| to be, slow to adopt Linux for some of the reasons I outlined, but there
| are nonetheless a LOT of people running Linux out there, especially on
| their ThinkPads.
