There's lots of truth in what you say here: why care about anything but the facts and be haunted by questions instead of facts? Sometimes I really wished I was like you... Microsoft has 90% of market share, Linux only 1% and people at Microsoft certainly are very glad. So, why should we be sad? Wouldn't this be giving Microsoft an edge in gladness? And if, tomorrow, Linux only has only .01% of the desktop market, would that be any reason to be sad? Of course not, since you and the codec geeks -- they'll undoubtedly be the last! -- will always hold the flag. So, you'll be glad not to be bothered by know-nothing like me and Microsoft... will they ever be glad! Once again, everybody will be glad. So why worry, be happy! Still, a last question keeps haunting me. No doubt, by now, since it's all well documented facts, you've read "From Microsoft Word to Microsoft World". In this document, Newman explains how, using its proprietary formats, Microsoft got rid of pretty much all competition. It brought every company to their knees, thn, bought and scrapped them one after the other. Of course, Microsoft can't play this game with Linux, since Linux uses... or tries to use open formats. Still, sometimes I wonder if, with all the money it has, Microsoft couldn't find a way to keep the cap on Linux. You know, keep it at an acceptable level of nuisance, say, 1% of market share after 18 years. Arrrgh! I'm afraid that's what I'll dream about tonight. What a pain I am, even to myself! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
