When I read the original article, the cynic in me kept whispering in my ear, 
"What do you expect him to say?" -- "We're in deep do do, and we'll be lucky 
if we survive until mid-August", or "Look, I've got some heavy bread stashed 
away just over the border in Switzerland, so next week I'm off to Martinique 
with all those sweet babes. It's every man for himself time, and there's only 
one lifeboat." Nahhh -- CEO's have to put a positive spin on events -- it's 
in their job descriptions. Hell, Ken Lay never let on that Enron was in 
Really Deep Stuff, did he? Of course not.

But then tonight I found this very encouraging story today at the Mandrake 
home page: 
http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/press/briefs?n=/mandrakesoft/news/2426

Synopsis: HP will be selling one of their _desktop_ lines with an option of XP 
Pro, XP Home, or (drum roll, please) MANDRAKE 9.1! We ain't talking servers 
here, folks, we're talking desktops! And we ain't talking Red Hat, Suse or 
Lindows, we're talking Mandrake! Wow! HP not only thinks that Mandrake can 
survive, but that Mandrake is the best solution to putting Linux on desktops. 
Looks good to me.

(There's also a current thread on Slashdot about this. It's the usual /. 
stuff.)
