Dear EpicBoy,
I have included many news articles below to back up a prevuious post about linux. I fear the you may be very very narrow minded when it comes to the current state of affairs in the linux world, and the whole IT industry as a whole. I feel obligated to inform you that your "ideas" about the propagation of linux in the IT industry are a bit faded and old. I hope that these articles will enlighten you.

I alos realize that this information shows very diffrent market segments, but its this diversity that makes linux a powerhouse. I will admit that Linux is not for everyone, but it gets better every week, which is more then I can say for windows. Feel free t email me at the address listed below and I would be more then happy to talk with you, or you can visit me on irc at, irc.blitzed.org, channels #blitzbasic, #blitzcoder, #binarypeople. There are also a few other people there that would be more then happy to enlighten you. I didnt write this to be mean, but a large amount of windows users have had never tried linux or they had a bad experience with it. But they forget the frustration they had when they first used windows, all it is is a learning curve. Have a nice day.
