It used to seem laughable, or cute, or optimistic (even to me, as a fan of the GNU OS), but gotta give it to Ghandi: there's a quote that's been floating for some time: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win"
I'd say MS is up to stage 3 (and didn't skip steps 1 and 2) -- and their failure certainly is looking like an inevitability.
Truthfully, the only loser will be MS. Everyone who uses, sells, or otherwise deals with computing will benefit.
I'm also personally of the opinion that this will greatly improve the state of the computer industry.
