Yeah, I also found this claim to be suspicious. To say:
L: Linux Exists
Therefore:
M: MS is not powerful and monopolistic
...is really just over-simplifying a million factors. Not the least of
which is that Linux is just a one- or two-year old phenomenon, as far as
the press and industry is concerned. And, don't forget that Linux is
still in the domain of hackers and know-it-alls.
Right now, we're just crossing over the border into the area of
respectable server territory, and really hitting mom-and-pop users is
going to take a bit longer...
And of course, this ignores the entire OpenSource issue.
