What chances of Bill Gates buying it up? Or copyrighting it under his name? I agree.

Now I presume he a Linux system. In his early days Bill Gates used to have an Apple McIntosh computer in his room that he would use whenever he got bored with his DOS operating system.

Though Microsoft owns a large share of home and office computers with Windows; it still cowers everyone time someone says "Yes, Linux has finally reached a stage where the common man can use it with very few hassles." And Microsoft dreads the day... when the common man... finds out. Finally some well deserved recognition for Linux.

I loved using Ubuntu for a while and serioulsy considered never going back to the dreadful windows. specially after the horrible vista. if an OS could be considered a virus that would take the cake. suddenly if you want to be up-to-date with hardware and software alike you have to downgrade your system. That's the case for Linux also, despite all it's flexibility and power there's just no substitute for all the millions of different applications available for windows. Apple was able to conquer a lot of hearts and runs better now than windows with a decently competitive offer on software development. Linux can either follow it's steps or proudly assume it's role as a professional tool with a low atractiveness for home users. Although it's most likely both paths will be followed considering the overwhelming amount of linux distributions. Best of luck. until such time i'll regretfuly remain in the other 15%. no wonder. linux is the best if you don’t run a multi-purpose system. that’s his weakness and his strenght.

For more reasons than you can count, Windows is a bad idea. Mac OS is pretty stable, but it's geared more towards desktops. BSD is designed for servers, but it's not as popular and doesn't have some of the features of linux and is designed with a minimum base system which doesn't scale quite as well. It's not so surprising that Linux kicks ass in the supercomputer field. Although, I'm surprised that nobody who has the resources to build a supercomputer doesn't just write their own optimized OS in assembly or something.
