Another thought is whether Linux distros can survive the silliness and 
widespread use of badly (or Marketing steered, or maliciously) written 
3rd-party/commercial applications pushed onto the unknowing masses...?

Will linux be linux if used like Windows? I guess we've had the 
lindows/linspire experiment...

Imagine a world with an /equal/ market share of Linux, BSD, Google-OS, 
Mac-OS, Windows? Possible? Good for Linux?

Cheers,
Martin
