Just a guess, he doesn't offer any rigorous statistical evidence to support that assertion, does he? Not that I'll bother checking...
Although you might be reading the statement wrong. Interest in Windows (particularly Vista) is definitely waning.

If you read the full article you'll see that he means that Linux interest is waning due to MS playing nice(r).

ROFLMAO

What? The article? Or the mere suggestion that you actually read an Enderle piece? :-)

Yes - it violates my principles to contribute clicks and thus money to something society would be better off without.

Come on, admit it folks, slow-motion train wrecks are irrestistible. You have to watch.

Only the first 20 or so times. I've read that many Enderle articles over the years. :(

It was supposed to be entertaining...darn enderle..lol!

Enderle wouldn't know rigorous statistical evidence if you wrapped it around a baseball hat and clubbed him over the head with it. Or, to be fair, as a journalist/writer he wouldn't know. I can't speak for his technical background, and he may be competent there.

ROFLMAO, but after reading the full 'article'. Sure, waste of electrons, but did have some fun. Darn, how uninformed can someone be?
Serious remark: Enderle assumes TomTom is afraid of Microsoft. I suggest it's the other way around: Microsoft doesn't give anything about TomTom. However, if other companies who 'licensed' the 'assumed IP' of Microsoft find out TomTom doesn't pay because the assumed IP simply doesn't exist, they're not going to pay either. Microsoft suing TomTom in my opinion shows they're scared. But I might be wrong, we'll probably never find out due to some settlement which will arrive before three years have passed.
He likes TomTom products - even though they don't run Microsoft - if that's any clue.

Waning? FOSS has never been as strong as it is today. More developers, more interest and more *renevue* than ever before.
