There are still many people who have only heard the MSFT side of the story.
Tonight, standing in an office supply store near closing time, I'm pretty certain I 'sold' a copy of RH WS. I told "the Linux story" to a guy who was contemplating buying a copy of XP to run a copy of Adobe Acrobat. I acknowledged that Linux used to be hard to install<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... but not any longer<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... and emphasized its strengths. The guy listened to me, another customer, for about 20 minutes and was asking questions right along.
OO is a threat. In fact, all of Linux is a threat and the more capable FOSS applications become, the bigger the hammer over MSFT's head.
