It amazes me how people are so focussed on the Desktop market, but completely ignore the very much larger embedded devices market and the possibly much smaller, but nevertheless very important, server market, where Linux dominates, when making these pronouncements of why Linux sucks or is doomed. (It would be interesting to see some numbers for these other markets and I would be extremely surprised if it did not show Linux in a very healthy state.) Cheers, Michael.
