You can read in your spare time. If you like Linux then you like it with all its good and bad thinks (fragmentation).

that was great. well worth the time to read and think about.

imho, linux rules the server world already and linux rules the "everyday_everyperson" world in the Alpha/Google android implimentation(Rob Pike of plan9 fame has worked at google for years now)

i don't know what the next "market winner" will be or look like, but unless it can replace/supplant the hardware/firmware/software that is ALREADY in everyone's pockets AND at the very same time is ALREADY running all the _wizard_of_oz_behind_the_curtain_server/cloud_stuff_ it probably doesn't stand a chance in hell.

as always, ymmv.
