It's strange. For years, geeks, sys admins, and nerds in general have been praying for someone to come along and knock Microsoft off its near-monopoly perch. I've been one of them: The healthiest thing that could happen to Windows is competition. But now that it may actually be happening, I find myself strangely concerned about Microsoft's reactions. Redmond is just going about the Linux war all wrong.
... but it has a ring of truth to it. The click-crowd don't need superior apps and a stable OS. They just need a sense that they are being taken care off and that they got all they need when they took that "Shiny Box" home.
It doesn't matter that they are not being taken care off and that they don't have all they need, when they took the "Shiny Box" home. They are convinced that they are and that is what all the marketing from a proprietary company does. GNU/Linux is lacking sales in the warm and fuzzy feelings department.
