Hello: I merely forwarded this post. As the entry level remarks by the author indicate, not too many still know about Linux. What it implies is that Linux evangelists must work harder to reach the ordinary users of PCs. In other words, non-techies. And BTW: Microsoft is now investing heavily in cultivating college students. At the same time, student radicals in UP appear to be the shrillest voices opposed to the university president's decision to migrate completly to Linux, excepting applications which have no non-propietary equivalents. And never forget: where UP goes socially and politically, so does the rest of the nation eventually. A successful Linux implementation there could very well signal the fact that this tropical archipelago could yet be the computing islands of the Penguin in the near future.
