Yeah, but having so many Windows boxen out there is a makes my life a pain 
when I have to write software to run on their instable platform (think .NET). 
The way I see it if everyone used Linux or other *nix it would be a 
programmers paradise.

I suggest we all come up with a good marketing campain to get the message out 
that Linux and OSS are good!

But the message needs to be clear just what it is and why it's good, not like 
those OS/Warp advertisements that IBM must have spent a fortune on but no one 
knew what they were selling!
