What if M$ decided to fight the battle on our turf? Couldn't they go out
and package their own version of Linux (MS-Linux98)? I'm sure a few
million of the 95 million or so users of Win95, would go out and buy it
beacuse they've heard about the Linux thingy on the web or because they
want the *big* corporation support for their new OS.
M$ would be looking at making tons-o-money, taking over the Linux market
(which means no Redhat, Caldera etc.), and leave us 5 million or so true
Linux users no option other than suicide.

Linux is user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
