So, and very interesting. I'm in full agreement.

One way IMHO to enable the environment for a move is to insist that MS 
publish ALL the details of its interfaces so that Wine et al can work 
properly. It already does an often-impressive job.

But IMHO there will *always* be vertical market applications that are 
devloped on Win and that need to continue to be used - until such time 
as FLOSS has more seats than Win, and that could be a way off yet.
