The web is open when you have standard data exchange formats and control over your information. What happens most times though is that you connect to a black box that happens to use FOSS underneath - not free and not open. What Mozilla is doing is not enough, and recently I have come to think of it a complete waste of time. Web apps are not magiclly open because they're written in JS and HTML. Finally getting back to Linux, I don't think it has lost. I am pleasantly surprised at how good the latest Ubuntu is as a desktop. If Apple continues to lock down Mac OS people will move to Linux - in my case I am investing in my Linux skills and decided not toinvest in iOS.
