Its obvious to me that Linux and Open Source Software is going to do more in the next year or two than it ever has.
With Google, Intel, and IBM all working on desktop versions of Linux to directly compete with Microsoft Winblows. With "the cloud" (web) taking over... With most major PC manufacturers offering Linux PCs as an option now.
I heard yesterday that Microsoft is opening the .pst format to make Outlook more compatible - never thought I'd see the day... How long until they start to open Windows? I agree it will likely start with some retarded Microsoft version of the GPL. But, at some point Microsoft will not be able to control a billion lines of code internally.
And once we are all living in the cloud - who really gives a damn how we get there?
