As much as I want to disagree with you... the facts are on your side... it's not that the FOSS world isn't there and thriving... it is, but if you compare it to where all cash is, it's not in the same orbit... I love linux (god bless Torvalds!) it's an amazing adaptation of software to do exactly what is needed and not the shotgun approach micros***t and other big corporations take in just trying separate users from their dollars...

I much prefer linux on an amazingly crafted mac where the fan never comes on to a hideous windoze box that always seems like it trying push boulders up a hill each and every day... sputtering and wheezing all day long... there is elegance to the simplicity of linux, but people are mostly driven by money... that's why we are where we are, it's undeniable, just unfortunate...
