I seriously doubt Linux or Open Source will be ever outlawed. No
matter what MS does. Too many companies rely on it (whether they 
admit it or not). Hotmail is still full of FreeBSD machines.

Sure the home desktops and office servers run Windows, but where it
counts its either Linux or Unix, and with the slump in the hi-tech 
industry - proprietary, expensive Unix's are being replaced with Linux.
