The elusive Linux they, whoever they are, need to figure out what they are selling that consumers can't get elsewhere. Free is not selling, surprisingly. Introduce a free (as in beer and speech) operating system and you'd figure people would flock to the thing. But they are not, in droves. In fact the OS with the highest price of all is making the biggest market share move (that'd be Apple) right now.
What this tells us is that, contrary to what many (including me) would like to think, marketing matters. What are you selling Linux? And remember, free (either kind) does not appear to be working so well.
