Yeah. But wait about 5 years and check where Ubuntu is at. It’s Microsoft’s worst nightmare barreling down the track right at ‘em. They know it too. They’re opening up some source code (and hijacking some open source code, changing a line or two, then filing copyrights).

I completely agree!

Linux is almost there. In a few years, Microsoft will be writing Linux applications to stay in business. The O/S market will simply be taken from their hands. The programming talent and numbers on Linux's side are simply overwhelming. MS can't afford to compete much longer.
