Is it time for Open Source to grow up?

,----[ Quote ]
| In the past ten years Open Source software and its poster child, Linux, has 
| expanded quite remarkably. It has changed from a rebel without a cause to an 
| entity that even the tried and true establishments have sat up and taken 
| notice. Heck, if it is good enough for such mission critical, world changing 
| Wall Street then it is good enough for anything.

How many Linux desktop users are there?

| So it is that Cherry asks that, "If desktop Linux market data is important to

| double-edged sword, so distro vendors should get those issues on the table
