You make it sound like M$ can't handle competition...the right way.  So 
many people I know are like software Lemmings.  I don't think M$ has 
much to worry about when it comes to desktops...for now.

If M$, Apple, and Linux were all free and open source, I bet the desktop 
market would still go to M$ or Apple.  I still see technical people 
using Linux on servers, workstations, and embedded devices.  And the few 
of us running it as a desktop when we're allowed by family.
