Re: Re: Effect of Microsoft EU ruling on Linux...
In decreasing order of likely-hood (most likely to least likely)
It may strengthen the Linux server and Samba market. It may
strengthen the Mozilla and other browser/calendar/email/...
applications market. It may strengthen the non-MS media player market.
But it will definitely *not* strengthen the Linux desktop market.
The arena where the most help for Linux desktop is likely to come
from is the fight against the MS OOXML "standard" proposal. And
that's a long-shot IMHO.
