Now that SAS operates under Linux, a lot of folks could have a 'NIX
machine on their desktop. Perhaps there is hope for y'all out there
who don't get the latest developments just because you aren't using
a Macro$oft OS. What are the latest figures on Linux usage vs M$
OS's? Is there any belief (based in reality, not fantasy) that Linux
will get a strong enough presence to really concern M$? My
understanding is that Linux still has a ways to go in GUI interface
to seriously concern the folks in Redmond. But I sure would like to
see that happen.
