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.

If any of this interests you, feel free to comment. Or go read Groklaw (http://www.groklaw.net).
