Here's a gag... Try this search:

Now, as far as Microsoft is concerned, they get a lot of bad press (much of it
deserved).  But they are not about to go away.  And Linux *should* clobber them
for use as WWW servers and things of that sort (but that does not mean it will
happen).  As far as end-user applications they are light years behind Microsoft.
 There are bazillions of applications that solve people's real business problems
that have real-live technical support that goes along with them.  Thinking that
somehow Linux will overcome this is pure fairy-land.

Frequently, computer-geek types (like us -- let's admit it) don't see why people
can't just use Linux, after all -- it's so easy.  But it is not really that way
for a lot of people.

Besides which, if you plan to sell it, Linux users have been known to create
wire fighting over a single penny.
