I recall reading in Fortune Magazine, several years ago, that of the companies that made the Fortune 500 50 years ago, only about 10% or less of had made it into the current Fortune 500. By the way, how long has M$ been around now? > there are still > big barriers to overcome before Linux can replace Windows. The greater the pain that customers experience with MicroSquash, the greater the incentive to overcome the barriers. I would certainly welcome the opportunity to choose which OS to run my tools on. That the users have choices should make the software companies get their act together and provide better products. The above comments apply just as much to Altium/Protel even though they are highly unlikely to ever make the Fortune 500 list.
