Hmm. You still have to consider the distributions of linux that are in fact very expensive. Look at Novell's distro. It's so fancy you can only rent it a few years out. That common man's XP you can keep pretty much forever. It will still be interesting to see the results of his experiment, though I think he will need more time to make a solid conclusion. One week doesn't seem like enough to me. P.S. I know my argument about Novell ignores the fact that he was using pirated examples. I'm pointing out that even similarly priced OSes don't get as much market share as windows.
