Linux represents Pareto's law: less than 15% of the market that causes
more than 85% of the costs (custumer support, complaints, etc).
The linux commercial market made a mistake; they ported to an inmature
platform and an unfriendly community. If we could focus on them saving
their act (based on these latest Microsoft event), the world would be
safe and balance restored 8).
Now...what about Borland? Is kylix also dying? I would like to see that
for FreeBSD too.
Pedro.
