wow. i'm a user of Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Ubuntu and other distros. let's say, we have the freedom of choice. nobody is forced to use Microsoft products, but if everybody finds them easier to use than a rather complex set-up linux distro, then why complaining? If it wasn't for Microsoft, the development of Linux would still be in command line and no user friendly GUI. Linux took a chance by developing something which would match, be better and of course be free of charge compared to Microsoft. Great, so thanks god there's Microsoft, otherwise there wouldn't be a big success for Linux today (or more in future).
It is inevitable that Linux will cost us money one day. how can you support millions of users, servicing servers, developers, etc with only donations? Companies spending thousands and millions for IT do really need to focus on cheaper possibilities and today Linux is the way to go, but does it offer the same service like Microsoft? Ask the companies? They will know, as they are using Microsoft!
Oh, maybe I am missing a point here...but improve reception of Linux for private users, because these also work in companies and will spread the word in their office!

Where does Linux go from here?
