Just tell that "idiot" to have a look at.....
http://www.kde.org/
http://www.gnome.org/

Either of these will prove this statement to be false.
"Linux is not--and never will be--a desktop operating system.

 Also have him check the "page info" for almost any site not owned by M$.
He will find that in about 90% to 95% of cases,
the server being used is Apache on either a Linux or Unix OS.

Which proves this statement to be false.
"Nor will it kill Microsoft's server business."

Even the Zdnet site itself does not use the M$ server. ;-)
