>I think time is not on Microsoft's side no matter how much >FUD or
propaganda they throw at other alternative OSs.
well partly true. People know of alternatives but aren't much interested in
alternatives. Most of the people(atlest the ones I know of) would rather
pay for an expensive antivirus software or firewall than use OS that are
designed with security and not $$$$$$$$ in mind.
>As time passes, people are becoming more and more aware >that there are
alternatives to M$ crap and these >alternatives

crackers,viruses.
To tell the truth , I think , only a few people would consider this unless
there are some good propoganda for open source software. And the time is
right now. People are aware of the alternatives but don't know how to get
them.
The other thing is M$ is trying to get into schools and universities 'cause
they know if schools start using m$ products so will the students and
getting the students is more important now than before. but who's going to
take the initiative is the question here.
