If that really is the case (and I don't doubt you), how long will it be before commercial SW developers look at their spiraling Linux maintenance costs, and decide that Linux is no longer a cost-effective platform for them to support, and look towards somehing like Solaris where binary compaibility and mixing of licensing is not only allowed, it is almost (in the case of the former) a religion? With less commercial SW, Linux will slowly fade and Solaris will retake the datacentre. Well, that's my $0.02... -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
