I like linux as much as the next guy (Score 2, Insightful)

But thinking linux is taking on the world is still a bit silly to me. Sure its gained heaps of mainstream acceptace, but to think Microsoft will let it get out of hand and become a real threat just doesn't reflect history or reality. I know the /. community myself included doesn't care for MS. However, there isn't a one that can deny the corporate giants they are and what shrewed and effective buisness men run MS. I'm not a MAC fan(never even used one) but I think Apple has a better shot IF it adopted the x86 hardware. (Just ignore the crazy guy at the bottom of the list)
