Your post is breathtaking in its ignorance...

Grow up an drop your elitist attitude. His post, like the article we are discussing here, is talking about the viability of Linux on personal desktops. Are you running your " database system that holds hundreds of millions of rows, used every day" off a desktop or a server?

No one is debating the usefulness of Linux as a whole.

I have to agree with the fact that, Linux, from a PC standpoint, is a hobby system and it will never reach the same number of HOME installations that windows or mac OSes will. I wish it would - but I think that's hopeful thinking.
