Appreciate this sort of a look at the whole thing; I've been a long time Linux guy sort of consistently baffled at the more divisive moves that the big players make here, and I think I'm probably forgetting the extent to which there is big money/growth involved in being the biggest fish in the pond. That being said, the strategies still seem pretty obtuse to me, it really does feel like all the Linux-powered companies and organizations who'd like to take a serious shot against Apple and Microsoft need to do way more cooperating than competing.
