The funny thing is, every single major player save for Microsoft has decided that they can build a business on libre software. Microsoft is the only company among the top players in the IT field that are railing against freedom. We'll have to see how long it takes for the general public to take note..
On another note, it would seem that every single major player, save for Red Hat, has decided that they can build a business on libre software but by adding value to it, and keeping that value commercial/proprietary. Up until recently you couldn't download SuSE isos (I don't know if the ones you can get now are up to date and the same as the ones they sell), and all the Netware stuff on Linux won't be free. Microsoft don't need to do this because they already have the base of another operating system. Craig
